It doesn't matter if it's the only source of hope or not and whether or not it's 'false hope'. You need to stop arguing the little things and look at the bigger picture.
I'm not assuming that they aren't. I'm only emphasizing on the word 'essential' and stating that something like food, clothing, shelter, education, etc. are more essential than a holy book of your choice.
Even if that were true how would that matter? We're talking about little kids here who aren't going to know or debate about whether there is a god or not (which there is btw).

WTF is the matter with you? How can you possibly be so uncritical of things presented to you? And how can you approve of such uncritical thinking in children? Just because they won't question it, doesn't mean that you brainwash them with the stories of the god of your choice!
Graphic Video: Muslims Slaughter Convert to Christianity in Tunisia

A young man appears held down by masked men. His head is pulled back, with a knife to his throat. He does not struggle and appears resigned to his fate. Speaking in Arabic, the background speaker, or "narrator," chants a number of Muslim prayers and supplications, mostly condemning Christianity, which, because of the Trinity, is referred to as a polytheistic faith: "Let Allah be avenged on the polytheist apostate"; "Allah empower your religion, make it victorious against the polytheists"; "Allah, defeat the infidels at the hands of the Muslims"; "There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger."
Then, to cries of "Allahu Akbar!"—or, "God is great!"—the man holding the knife to the apostate's throat begins to slice away, even as the victim appears calmly mouthing a prayer. It takes nearly two minutes of graphic knife-carving to sever the Christian's head, which is then held aloft to more Islamic cries and slogans of victory.
