<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

My girls (10 and nearly 8) have been at a new school for about four weeks and more and more frequently they are coming home with  zealous opinions about God/Religion. (Apparently despite me signing a form to say they should attend an ethics class instead of prescribed religion they have been lumped into the RE class.  Yes, I will see the school asap but the damage has been done.)  
Another factor is that my ex-MIL (their grandmother) is a born again die hard christian and my husband's birth mother whom we see - is also.  There's always lots of 'jesus loves you' and 'dinosaurs weren't real - they are a test'..  Its really confusing for my kids.

My partner and I tend to lean more towards an eastern type of philosophy in terms of karma, positivity and creating a positive space around us and in terms of the afterlife we aren't sure but we love the idea of reincarnation and have been talking with the kids about how energy never totally disappears etc.

Our core principle is to raise four strong intelligent women who question and explore the world around them and don't just blindly accept what they are told.

We even told them that if they choose later in life to join a religion that we support that choice....

Dinner table discussions are getting pretty deep - why is Zeus disregarded as myth but God is not and why can't God have made dinosaurs because the earth isn't old..   even why organised religion is a negative influence but faith is okay.

They are told to treat teachers with respect and to pay attention in school and learn.. but this is being taught to them as 'TRUTH' and as being on the same level as learning to read/write/maths etc..  

This situation... well, I'm just at a loss really.  I just need some help.. maybe some websites or books or your experience/opinions? Please.

(I keep adding bits so I'm going to stop. Happy to answer questions!)
<bot>: (I guess); kids are being bombarded by religion in school and are losing a grip on reality (god makes the roads!), how do we counter their blind faith in what they are being taught?
