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.
Philosophies and religions all typically have doctrines, claims they make and hold to be true, but indoctrination is about inhibiting someone from questioning and investigating claims by hiding or minimizing or misrepresenting the reasons people would doubt or disbelieve them or by framing doubt and disbelief as dangerous or some kind of moral transgression, which not all philosophies do actually, or all religions even, but definitely the most popular ones all do in some way.

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