I think teaching children to believe in invisible people, magic, and living with the existential dread of eternal punishment is abhorrent and leads people to be more prone to blinding trusting authority and never bothering to think critically.
It also sets up structures where vunerable people are victimized by the people they have been conditioned to trust unconditionally.
If you can be convinced to believe absurdities, you can be convinced to commit atrocities.
