Most religious people do not believe that Creation is a lie.

And how do you know that THEY "know" it's a lie? Also, how do YOU know it's a lie? It can't be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, either way.
I imagine that the religious teach their children their religion for the same reason ALL parents teach their children their own opinions: Because it's THEIR children, and they have a right to teach them whatever they want, so long as it doesn't harm their children, or cause their children to harm anyone else.

Why should we accept the assumption that most people DO in fact teach their children Creation?

Teaching your children that creationism is a fact should be considered child abuse. Welcome to atheism. It's nice to see people using the power of reason and rational thought!
To the person above me, my brother-in-law, a Christian missionary teaches creation to his children, and teaches them that every word in the Bible is the literal truth.

God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.
