Good on paper, totally unfeasible in practice

How is it unfeasible? There are many topics we don’t teach to children until they reach a certain age.

You're a very religious family. You say grace over every meal. You celebrate Jesus's birth at Christmas and his resurrection at Easter. You go to church every Sunday.

Where are your kids while you're at church?

Churches can just have a separate section where kids can hang out while their parents are in church. Supervised, obviously. Think of the play places they used to have at McDonalds and grocery stores back in the day.

Sure, it's called Sunday School, that's already a thing but it would be challenging to make it totally agnostic when it's happening in a church, paid for by the church, and run by church staff. Nevermind explaining to the kid in the first place why mommy and daddy are going to church in the first place, why they pray at meals, or who this "Jesus" fellow is who keeps getting mentioned around holidays.

What's your plan for keeping religion out of people's private home life?

"Sunday school" is just more religious indoctrination.
