RE: Child Indoctrination

I was brought up, Christian. It wasn't abusive, I believe that my parents thought they were helping me, not forcing anything negative upon me. That said, the main staple of all indoctrination tactics is fear. Whether it is taught in malice or not, indoctrination breeds fear. I was honestly afraid to leave religion. Once I realized that my fears were not based on logic, I could start letting go. But, don't always leap to thinking a kid is abused because he was brought up going to church, Sunday school, reading holy books, etc.
