You're missing the point. It's not about whether religion is necessary in order to teach someone not to steal, its about a parent's right to choose how to bring their child up and what to teach them.
DRZ says that bringing a child up to believe in God from birth is 'brainwashing' purely and simply because he doesn't believe in God. Yet (we speculate) there are other things children are taught from birth that he's not railing against, like not stealing, running across roads, speaking French, eating with their mouths closed or being strict vegans. I wonder why not.
