Morality is independent of religion. One does not need to believe there is a God or is no God to know that some things are just wrong. And teaching children superstitious B.S. is morally wrong.

How do you "know that some things are just wrong?"

Who decides?

You can appeal to the authority of men, or some authority beyond men. On what basis would you do one versus the other?

And how does one "leave" science? Science is not a religion that one can subscribe to or not... it's simply a system.

It's a system not equipped to answer all questions, nor support all assertions.

You can leave science when you have to deal with aspects of reality beyond the space-time continuum.

Here's an example of a non-scientific statement: "One does not need to believe there is a God or is no God to know that some things are just wrong."

...Unless you have some scientific evidence for it?
