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.
