OK Steve, what you suggest seems reasonable.Not sure it presents a solution to issues you seemed to raise earlier, but would likely have some impact.

No state involvement in religion. I don't believe this is an issue where I live, as I see a clear separation. But, I see this is not the case in all countries.

A fair interpretation of the Bible is reasonable. It could possibly be encouraged in homes, eventually making some impact. But, making an impact in churches is likely problematic. But, if I understand trends, churches have less influence on today's young anyway...though I am unsure if that's true in non-western nations?

Because it was seen a good course at the time, we mostly followed what you put forward while raising our two children. My son is an Atheist. My daughter is a believer in a God, but not a member of any organized religion, much like me and the children's (now young adults) mother.
