I was inspired to post this after happening on a story from 2015 about a 7-year-old boy who told a class mate that he doesn't go to church because he doesn't believe in God. He was then quizzed by his teacher about his family's religion, made to sit alone at lunch for three days straight, and repeatedly made to feel as if he did something wrong. (You can read about that here, if your interested: wapo.st/1DqF5gs)
So, here are to links to an old blog I kept up during the 2016 election season...
In the first, we see that not only are kids raised with religion no more moral than kids raised without religion, but that "while growing up, irreligious teens are less susceptible to peer pressure, less likely to try to fit in with the 'cool' crowd, and as adults (on average) tend to be less vengeful, less nationalistic, less militaristic, less authoritarian and more tolerant, than their religious counterparts."

In the second link, we see that violent crime is actually lower in many countries with low levels of religiosity:
