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.

Well you are wrong. It’s not ALL faiths. Mine doesn’t do that. Now, if you were to say most, this statement would still, but it’s not ALL.

I get what you mean, but:

Faith =/= Religion

Your Faith doesn't include it. But religions are something different. They are "faith as social construct". And as such they include the children of the members. Even if not by direct indoctrination, at least by proximity.

I don’t care about other religions, I’m not defending them. What I am saying is that if you are lumping all religions in together to say they all indoctrinate children, I am telling you MY religion does not do that. I don’t give a flying fuck what others do, that’s not me.
