I think society naturally stopping indoctrination is a possibility, as it matures. People will hopefully realize it's not healthy or necessary. It will probably fizzle out and be diluted, as religion loses its grasp. I haven't seen a lot of evidence of it still going on in England, at least where I've been.
Ideally, it should be illegal because it's absolutely disgusting, but I think in practical terms we have to arrive there naturally. So if we keep on promoting rational thought and freedom from dogmatic ideas, hopefully we'll move things in the right direction.
I wish I was as optimistic as you but I think it's battling human nature, so probably not going to change in that regard where religion is present in a household. It may dwindle as religion dwindles overall, especially in our country, but where religion is still present in a household, I think religious parents will just carry on being completely oblivious to the lack of consent and the potential psychological damage that religious teaching can do
