Catholics have the apostles' creed taught at CCD. Protestants have "Yes Jesus Loves me" taught in Sunday School. I presume they do it because they believe they know the truth and want to share it with people they love.

Lutherans as well teach the Apostle, Nicene and Athanasian creeds, not only in Sunday School but in their catechisms and confirmation classes. "Yes Jesus Loves Me" is in no way comparable to these creeds. It is a friendly, children directed song about Christ's love.

It is taught to children before the age of rational thought. It is done to indoctrinate (literally) rather than educate. It is done out of love, however, and therefore cannot be faulted on moral grounds.
