As far as I can see it, religion at its core is more about a shared history than it is about belief in a higher power. A religion can only exist if a group of people share a history together, then their core beliefs are formed into a doctrine, only after that can you think about a higher power. In history this has usually taken the form of smaller cults in cities or villages, which if they grow in size enough become a religion or part of a region's religious beliefs.

A parent bringing their child into their religion is bringing them into their own shared history. Saying "this is your part in the world and how you should best try to align yourself with nature" and some such codes of conduct. This is especially important if the people of their city or country around them share the same religion, this helps them fit into their society.

A person promoting religion to others they do not know through entertainment or education can cause damage if they're trying to convert people. What you are doing then is trying to encompass your shared history over theirs. In a homogeneous society where everybody has the same shared history this isn't much of a problem. Between different groups of people though, this is a culture war.

Of course if you're merely trying to celebrate your own history and have others partake in it then I would say it's positive. For example the game Sekiro has many Shinto and Buddhist elements in it, which feels natural and not like it wants you to believe in what its creators believe.
