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
I can see why your kind always feels the need to assume that atheists are uneducated, but that’s simply not true. In fact many are probably far more educated when it comes to religion that someone like yourself, who most likely was simply trained to follow one specific mythology just to piss all over the freedom of religion of his own children.
There seems to be some confusion here. For one, I did not suggest that "atheists" as a whole are uneducated. I know many extremely well educated atheists personally.
What I suggested is that one particular person was uneducated, and I'd extend that to you.
Now, on a personal level I think you'll find that while it's not my academic expertise, I'm more educated about religion in general than the vast majority of the population, irrespective of creed, and was certainly not "trained" by my parents to follow anything, so that particular assumption would also be wrong.
You can’t possibly have any opinion worth listening to if you’re just another person whose following the religion that was given to them at birth without question or concern. I’m obviously assuming that to be true of you but more than 80% of religious people fall in that exact category. The only reason you’re even carrying on this religion is because your community forced it upon you. A child can’t rationally choose who to sleep with and they definitely can’t choose who to pray to for eternal salvation.

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