What if the priming is developmental? I wonder if there's any parents out there who have tried to bring up their kids with rational beliefs. E.g. No lies about "bunny heaven"; instead take the kid on a field-trip to a slaughterhouse. And if so, how did it effect how well adjusted the kids were?
Insulating children from death is a relatively modern behavior.
For a long time, most people grew up around killing animals for food, and there was still religion.
For this to really work, I think it would require more cultural support than just one set of parents. Maybe something like the school system and interactive history museum Sachisuke wrote about?
Of the people who voted this up, I am curious: How much of Sachisuke Masamura's work have you read? PM me.
