I disagree, I was not brought up with any religion and when I learned about it I researched different religions myself. Never did "what wasn't I taught" enter my mind, it didn't matter to me in the slightest because after my research I found (and still find) all religion to be silly
My Parents never baptized or initiated me into any religion, they thought that it should be my choice what faith to follow when I came of age to be able to understand what each religion taught and stood for. If I ever had a question about a faith that they knew the answer to, they would answer it. I would not have it any other way. (thanks Mom and Dad!)
Personally, I believe all children should be raised with the same respect for individual choice.
My Parents taught me morals, ethics, and what it means to be a good person without any religious values what-so-ever.
I am active in my community, help the poor and old, organize and work in community, beach, and river clean-ups, Teach lesson plans to children in elementary school, and am great friend and the best boyfriend Imaginable, I am a genuinely nice person and treat everyone with respect and empathy regardless of race, sexual orientation, or ethnicity. I am a good person, all without the slightest religion influence.
I am living proof that Humanism is successful.

I fail to see the point you are trying to make.

As I stated above, I am proof of this methods success.
