That is highly subjective. No parent, regardless of religion likes others telling them how to raise their kids. It would depend on what they are selling the kid. I do think if you are selling a child bigoted superior crap and basing that on religion, that can have a negative effect on the child setting them up not to have good social skills.
But is is impossible to prevent parents in the civil west from them selling their kids the religions of their parents. Even liberal theists sell their children their religions. So this would be a "depends" not an absolute.
You fail to recognize the distinction between indoctrination and teaching. Telling a child selectively edited excerpts from the bible if they believe those are good morality tales is one thing, telling them that they are true, forbidding them to question it, and every other horrible thing that comes along with real indoctrination, THAT is what is violates those children's human rights. Using those as fairy tales in the same way as Aesop's fables and Grimm stories is entirely fine, as they won't become any more prevalent in those kids' lives than the latter examples.
That being said, fuck those parents who complain about not being able to brainwash their kids.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
