Most religions aren’t good to be taken at face value.
At the very least, the spiritual understanding of an adult should be a lot more developed and sophisticated than that of a small child. Tens of millions of people accept a religious summary that is designed to be spoonfed to children. Also, children should not be taken to religious services until they are old enough to consciously choose this themselves.
Children should not, by any means, be actively primed and trained to be adherents of a particular religion. I shouldn’t have to spell that out, it’s not controversial or dubious at all.
I don’t suppose you experienced going to religious services regularly as a kid?

I don’t know about the last part. Children need structure. Ritual and drama speak to children quite well.
