Yeah, as if your kids being surrounded by many adult authority figures, that all believe in the same unevidenced, irrational beliefs, does not have any indoctrinating effect on them.
Sunday church, Bible study, Christian youth camp, etc... No indoctrination there, nope.
Sorry, but I've been there. You may not believe you are brainwashing your kids, but that doesn't change the fact.
So if you and your wife are atheist, and you children know what your beliefs are. If you're part of your local humanist group, perhaps let your children attend a humanist youth camp. If most of your friends are unbelievers as well, and share your over all worldview.
Do you consider this brainwashing?
