I agree, although some people object to the term "abuse" if it wasn't the intent.
I'd say it can easily be as harmful as things we would consider child abuse, even if there was no ill intent. It's through ignorance that people don't know the damage they are causing. This is of course little consolation to those who have been through it. I hope for a world, one day, where this ignorance is greatly reduced.
So again, education is the key. The world is probably not ready for people to stand up and say "religious indoctrination can be harmful" to parents. The reaction would be hysterical, at least in some countries. Hopefully one day it will be ready.
