Is forcing children into creationism going beyond normal religious instruction?

With religion, one can say that it is something that scared and gullible people use to help them get through traumatic experiences; it’s a mostly innocent, harmless form of deception like a child believing in Santa. But Creationism is not harmless, it is not innocent and it is not used by scared and gullible people to help them get through traumatic experiences. It is a blatant act of willful ignorance and deliberate deception. So, when you look at it like this, it’s going beyond normal religious instruction, right? Forcing a child into creationism is equivalent to deliberately disabling a child, right?
