Just because they don't know any creative and original artists, doesn't mean they don't exist. Religious and Atheist dictators. As someone who does not practice religion, I obviously don't like other people's beliefs being shoved down my throat, or people thinking that I'm doomed and evil because I'm not Christian. Likewise, I don't like the fact that some atheists I know are going out of their way from keeping their kids from being exposed to anything relating to religion. Get over it.
Religion is a part of human history.
Personally, I like educational tv shows that discuss objectively various religions throughout history. I find it fascinating. Doesn't mean I have to follow any of them. If I had a kid, we wouldn't attend a place of worship, but they would know they exist and what they are for. And if the kid wanted to go with a friend to their church or mosque or temple or nature gathering or whatever to see what it was like, I wouldn't object.
