What if I don't want you to teach secular morality to my children? Is that a similar situation? Why do you single out religious belief, when society imposes morality on every child? Further, why is it wrong to teach good morality. Would it be analogous to child rape if a child was taught that murder is wrong?
Religion preaches about things that probably don't exist, atheism doesn't. Religion is a postive claim, atheism (as a whole) isn't. Religion wastes your time on useless things like prayer, atheism doesn't.
Atheism in the modern day is a sort of creed that comes pre-packaged with its own ideology that does make positive claims, for the most part.
