If you want children to be "honest, kindhearted, solid citizen, sturdy
goodfellers" then how about encouraging them to be "honest, kindhearted,
solid citizen, sturdy goodfellers".  There is no need to encourage them
to be Mormons, Catholics, holy roller snake handles or any other
religion.  There is no need to teach any sort of religious dogma
particularly to a young impressionable child.
