It's not indoctrination when you're teaching the love of the almighty Creator.
It is indoctrination you fool.
Hume
Descartes
Spinoza
Marx
Russell
Sartre
Foucault
Chomsky
Sartre and Russell could both lay claim to finest Philosopher of the 20th century. The others, bar Chomsky were the finest of their generations too, in deeply religious times at that! Quite a feat, wouldn't you agree?
Darwin
Einstein
Schrodinger
Oppenheimer
Bohr
Hawking
Feynman
Susskind.
Are you now seeing how your weak claim fails? The 2 most important scientists of the last 300 years were atheists.
I would go as far as saying that had Newton been alive today, he too would be an atheist.
