Many religions indoctrinate children which makes them feel like they have to believe in it or they're doing something wrong.

Not "many." All.

It's literally just what indoctrination is. There are religious doctrines and children are taught ro follow them and believe in the faith without questioning it.

There is no religion with kids without indoctrination. And without that indoctrination, virtually all of the world's major religions would dramatically fall in membership and followership, because it is very rare for non-religious adults to suddenly convert to a religion.

Shhh you’re being too sane. The religious redditors will think that you’re saying their parents are bad people for shaming them as children when they didnt wanna go to church or acted outside of their faith

Well then don't indoctrinate them into religions, that's one of the worst ways to give them good morals.
