No, it isn't.
The burden of proof is on the athiest, as (s)he is challenging the claim that God exists. Contrary to popular belief, the aim of science isn't to prove but rather disprove. If science can't disprove that, in this case, God exists (Or even doesn't exist) then it simply says that God might exist but there's no scientific evidence available on the subject.
Anywho, what's the difference between teaching a child to believe in a certain religion? It's no worse than, say, teaching your child that there is no God.
Religion won't be the downfall of man; A lack of religion will be, though.
