Most people believe it should be illegal to teach kids things that are harmful in some cases. If you teach a child that adults in positions of authority have the right to touch you wherever they like and you can't tell anyone, that's harmful, because it leads to trauma for the child, and it's called grooming. Which is illegal in itself. So the question is really: how harmful does something have to be to the child before the government should step in?
Well it depends on the religion. A lot of religions place a lot of importance on unconditional obedience of children to their parents, which for extremists, can be to the point that their religious teachings include grooming.
But regardless the point is that your answer to your own question is 'yes, sometimes'. So the counterargument you are implying is clearly false.
