A number of religions actually do have an age limit as to when children can formally be entered into it. I know catholicism is that way (I think confirmation was at 13). Before that, it's recognized that you aren't mature enough to actually choose the religion.
I like your idea, but only on the surface. If you really penetrate it, it's clear that even atheists (like me) indoctrinate our children with beliefs and ideals that are analogous to those taught by religions. What separates religious values apart from secular ones? And kids who aren't taught any values at all will grow up to be total shits.
