Indoctrination sucks. Dawkins argues it's child-abuse...... it is miseducation and kind of wrong at the very least.
Oh please. There is a point in which somethings like "miseducation child-abuse" sound ridiculous a I must start replying. I mean, if a parent honestly thinks that the moon is made of cheese and noses parted the read sea and teaches what he believes is truth to his children, you have no business interfering and giving your two shits on what you think is the truth.

I don't think of a standard religious upbringing such as I had to be a form of abuse.

However, there are certainly religious upbringings which are abusive, both mentally and physically.
