How do you propose to prevent it? Thought police?  Seriously, you can't
prevent religious teaching.  The way their parents live will teach them
a lot about religion.  Of course, a lot of times the message isn't what
the parents intended; if the parents go to church every Sunday and lie,
cheat, and abuse each other the rest of the week, most probably the
children will learn that all Christians are hypocrites and that religion
is a bunch of crap.
