Ehhhh it's a tough one. I personally don't believe that children should be raised with strong religious leanings, though the conversation should always be open and accepting.
On the other hand, I would never advocating removing the rights of parents to make that decision for themselves because the idea of strict governmental control over guardianship is terrifying. The government, of course, has to make sure that children are safe from abuse and neglect, but beyond that I don't believe in "government mandated parenting" at all.

No better or worse placed than those with religion; both present the same level of bias.
