I have seen many people who are not into any specific religion raise kids in a very moral way, much like I've seen some theists who have brought up children to be spoiled brats-- or worse. Religion by itself does not guarantee that the parents will necessarily bring up their children to be moral. Yes, it certainly can help. And a great many atheists and "secularists" (whatever that is) do bring up their children to have morals.
It's unfortunate that you resorted to stereotyping in the above comment. The concept that somehow all atheists will teach immorality and all theists will teach morality is terribly off the mark. Btw, just for the record, I'm neither a theist or an atheist.
