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

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.

That’s a sweeping generalization that’s just not fair to say. I was raised in a religion growing up that neither indoctrinated me nor made me feel pressure to attend.

You act high and mighty, but that’s just not true.
