Your children look to you for what to believe. When they reach an age that they start forming their own beliefs based on their own experiences, they will critically examine the beliefs you taught them and draw their own conclusions.

Until then, if you don't teach your children "what to believe", someone else will. Your kids are bombarded every day with messages about what they should believe. What good are you doing if you eliminate parental input? Is it somehow healthier for your kids to get their worldview from the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon than from your own example/advice? I think not.
