I want to add that I feel indoctrination is not that different morally from having sex with a minor. You're imposing something on them that they can't understand fully, can't give real consent to, and will affect them for the rest of their life.
We have an age of consent for sex, I think we should have one for religion. If you think your kid will not join your religion unless you force it on them when they are young, what does that tell you? If you think they still will, then back off and let them decide. Tell them what you believe, but don't tell them what to believe.
If you think religion is important as part of an upbringing, you are even more fucking deluded. If you can't explain to your kids why some things are wrong without having to resort to "it will upset an invisible man" then you need serious parenting classes.
