It looks like some atheists are condescending with the people. They

You switched from "allowed" to "learn".
To learn to doubt.
Do you suppose people should *not* be allowed to believe in Santa
Claus?
That's another topic.
I am thinking of adults here.
Or do you mean they should not be respected for their faith
When adult, normally they should have a cautious faith about what
parents said, but when they are kids, it is more difficult.
Should kids believe their parents when they said that God has made the
Universe in six days? Or that God does not exist?
and should be challenged to provide evidence for what they believe?
That would be harsh with the little kids!
