    Religion isn't needed for this, non-religious people can raise their kids with the same morals and even open them up to the beautify of our universe and whats possible out there as there is no need to live in the box. You're forgetting that atheists are people with perfectly sound morals that live their lives sometimes even more thoughtfully than religious folk, free of the need to judge others and or believe in some higher power that will ultimately "judge" them. There is no need for a creation story, there is no need for a higher power to judge you, punish you, make you it's bitch if you make a mistake. Raise your kids with wholesome qualities and ideals and they won't need god to enforce those rules... 99.9% of humans are naturally good and will live moral and productive lives. Radicalized religions don't offer those same benefits for example.
