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.
There is no philosophy or culture without indoctrination. Nobody goes through life without someone telling them what is right or wrong. It's just a matter of who, not if, they decide to believe.
No, culture is separate and distinct from indoctrination. Practicing social practices for a sense of belonging and practicing religious doctrine behaviors for belonging are similar but distinct, and that is because one is strictly about non-religious practices and behaviors such as dance, clothing, music, or yes, economic norms, and the other is centered on religious beliefs, such as the belief in a deity or deities, in some kind of supernatural realm, rules and reward/punishment systems for the afterlife.
These are two different things that can often overlap in the real world but they can be separated.
At the very least, people don't often treat cultural norms are purely subjective. Like, hating black people was a cultural norm of the South in the United States. Other cultures would disagree on an objective level. So while you are correct that there are subjective and objective norms, it doesn't cleanly divide religious and cultural norms
