Not sure it make sense. How to choose/decide about religion (or the opposite) without knowing about it. It's like refuse to send him to elemental art/math/chemistry class until he choose the university himself. And the another thing, you have enjoyed it (as a whole package), yet you deny this from your child? Sounds a bit strange.

Knowing about it and be a subject to it differs quite a bit.

That's right, there are quite a few thing in the world, that you need to experience (to really understand), because knowing about it is not the same. Like poverty (disability etc), one might know about it, but until experience it one might look those down. You need to be exposed many things as a child to gain experience, because as an adult you will be much more closed to new things and have less time. + this is safe.
