Teaching Religion to Children May Not Be Easy, but It Is Necessary

[on point]

15. You have this backwards. You have to have prove it is true. Otherwise made up nonsense

Just because a bunch of delusional folks think it is true doesn't make it so.

If you have evidence that any of the many religious god myths out there are true, then trot it out. Otherwise, lies for the gullible, and a great disservice to them getting them to buy into such nonsense. In fact, I would say it is preying on them to brainwash them into delusional magical thinking. It will harm them their entire life.

It is not teaching prejudice to tell people they are being lied to. The intolerance comes from trying to preserve the lies, because the lies can't stand the light of day. Tolerance is taught as understanding others, including those who have fallen victim to religious myth. And yes, the truth is that that they are 'delusional and weak and sick'. The only reason this isn't widely and publicly acknowledged is the historical deference, and fear from persecution by religious authorities, that every, dare I say it, intolerant, society has delivered to those that question their myth.

It us not rigid or dogmatic at all to ask for evidence. It is rigid and dogmatic to insist that what ever religion (which ever one) makes up is true, even though there is no evidence.

Sorry religion is going away. Just a matter of time before people wake up and realize it is nothing but a big scam. Might take many years, but today's religions will die off, just as all the old religions before them died off. Though I grant you there will still be people needing delusional myth as a crutch in life, but they will have proper psych diagnosis, and consideration for their affliction.
