Indoctrination in religious families tends to not be the cellar/bible scenario, rather it's the absence of outside information. Most christian families wouldn't allow their children to read anything from Dawkins or Harris. They don't allow them to listen to AronRa, they ingrain in them at an early age that the bible is the absolute word of god, that it's infallible. As the child grows up, they rationalize everything they are taught, dismiss everything that contradicts it, and then utilize the same indoctrination methods on their own children.
Get on youtube and type in, proving the bible is correct and evolution is a lie, and just watch the responses some of these sheltered teenagers give. It's absolute madness. Especially when you consider that most children are so full of questions, so curious, to see it blatantly corrupted and defiled with unwavering belief is disturbing. I feel sorry for these kids, not just because I think they are beneath me, but that if they are so devout this early on, the probabilities of them slipping back into reality as an adult is astronomically improbable.

"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me
"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon
