What's so bad about teaching children to disbelieve what there's no proof for? What I like about the so called "New Atheism" is that it takes a position, where the "old" kind is merely a lack of one.
Intolerance for the idea of God doesn't necessarily mean intolerance for the people who believe in God. You can bet I'm ready to argue with someone on the difference between proof and faith, but I don't immediately lose respect for that individual.
