I've run into this issue with my kids too. My inlaws are Christian, but I am pagan and my husband is more or less atheist as well. We approach it from the standpoint of this is what some people believe, but it's not what all people believe or what all people should believe. A person's beliefs are their own and each person has to explore and decide for themselves what they feel is right in their hearts. I don't think kids are encouraged to trust their instincts and listen to their hearts as often as they should be. I was allowed to determine my spiritual path from a very early age separate from my parents' beliefs and mine are very different from theirs, but that's ok.
To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

I would also suggest, things by Lee Strobel
The Case for Christ
The Case for Faith

Both come in student versions. When I did Ministry we read the student versions. It took a look at faith and Christ from a scientific perspective.

Just an idea.

ETA:
Here is the new kids version they have released:
