That way when your kid is your age he can make moral judgements against you and this generations.
What indoctrination would that be? That evidence and sound methodology trump ancient, hard-to-believe claims? Guilty as charged. That their moral compasses should be guided by a healthy concern for themselves and others, rather than appealing to some alleged god's holy book that they will spend their lives defending, twisting and turning in the throes of the most rank moral relativism while insisting that the god they worship is the ultimate arbiter of "objective" morals? Yep, guilty.
As for generations making moral judgements against their elders, nothing new there. Each generation has its failures and shortcomings to answer for. We are not immune from future censure.
