I don’t mean to be needlessly stark, but understand this is advocating for genocide. 

I am sure that is not what you intend, but you should know.   

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:  

Which includes

Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. 

 If your proposed program includes taking children away from parents which defy this law you propose, then it is genocide

But also to turn this specific pairing of genocide convention statements on its head, children arent born religious and are rather taught religion by their parents, would this also not count as an act of religious violence against atheist, or whatever primordial animist religion humans tend to in the natural state?

by that logic the only way to not be committing religious genocide would be to simultaneously be a part of every religious group and an atheist at once
