The phrase "a society that has respect for God" strongly suggests religious uniformity within that society. This is the antithesis of religious freedom as we know the idea. Thus I would imagine that such a society would only respect its fellow man so long as that fellow man toes the line of the official religion. Do you truly long for such a restrictive society? What if a denomination other than yours got to decide the nuts&bolts of how God was to be officially and socially respected?

a society that has respect for God, also has respect for their fellow man. I agree, It is important to show your children principles. It is not necessary to bring magic and superstition into the teaching to show respect and other good traits. Such an approach can work but it is not the only way. It can be quite unsettling to get some kind of official proclamation on magic once the child has grown beyond Santa and the Easter Bunny. TP
