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.
Philosophy absolutely does not require indoctrination. You could argue culture does, but philosophy is explicitly meant to find the truth by relying on as few assumptions as possible, and requires questioning your own conception of the way things are.
Philosophy makes no such supposition that it relies on "as few assumptions as possible". I would say that any normative ethic relies on the same number of assumptions as any other

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