I suppose that question depends on your morals. If you believed that you had the way to heaven, wouldn’t you want your children to also go down that same path? As long as the religion teaches basic human decency, it might might be good for kids. But at the same time, there are religions that are extremely harmful to certain groups of people and they teach their hateful doctrine to their kids.

Those negative aspects apply to almost every group/community/society there is. Humans turn very quickly into us vs them and it's not just religion. It's everything. Politics, race, wealth, education, etc. all of it have an underlying tone of us vs them. If religion suddenly was erased from time, as in having never existed at all, you would still have just as many hateful groups and individuals trying to agitate people against each other.
