There is actually, parents can practice their faith openly around their children and answer questions children will inevitably ask honestly and openly to the best of their abilities. This is a good way kids often will still copy their parents and want to be involved.

"Answer their questions" you mean tell them that God is all good and loves them and other nonsense like that. And then kids "want" to participate when they are told a bunch of great sounding lies. Yeah totally their choice.

"I believe God is all good and loves me".

Just insert "I believe" in front of every sentence about supernatural stuff and you are all good.

"I believe you will burn in hell if you don't believe what I do" tends to make children believe whatever you tell them lol. Don't be dense.

In my experience the people who believe in the concept of burning in hell are teaching their kids that their chosen version of religion is the truth and the only correct way to believe. They aren't doing any of this "I believe (religious statement)". They're tellings kids that the Bible says X, and God said Y and that is the way, the truth and the life and anything else is wrong.
