What are you calling Christian propaganda? A three-year-old is barely putting sentences together, so no they're not exactly parsing the sermon at church.
How about parents talking about Jesus as if he's real and if you piss him off you're in trouble? A three-year-old won't understand a triune god -- and let's face it, you don't either -- but a three-year-old certainly understands trouble.
You're clearly not a parent. Your denialism would be funny were it not so sad to watch you doing pretzel-logic to defend your own programming ... which actually rather accentuates my point. Because I am sure you didn't study the various religions of the world and decide that 7DA horseshit is better than the other horseshit.
You were raised in your religion, and you've very defensive about it, that much you've made plainly clear. You're much more transparent than you think.

Is that what you guys are calling propaganda? There has to be room here for people to hold beliefs that are different than yours without perceiving it as manipulation or coercion.
When it lands upon people who haven't -- as even the Catholic Church calls it -- reached the age of reason, yes, it is indeed manipulation.
The fact that you can't see it calls into question your psychological "insight", no matter what courses you claim to have completed.
