Indoctrination

I'm the oldest of three siblings. All of them are still Catholic (as far as I know) because they have been indoctrinated in to this faith. My youngest sister's Reconciliation is coming up, and today at dinner, she talked about how nervous she was. My parents told her that she had nothing to be worried about, that God would forgive her, etc. This is one of the things I find to be so repulsive about Catholicism. It installs this sense of blame, and guilt in innocent people from a young age. "Jesus died for our sins." I didn't ask him to die for me; I accept full responsibility for my actions. My siblings should learn that, but instead they are merely forced to believe that Jesus died because they sinned. I'm not sure how to let them be able to develop their own perspectives, but I'm concerned that Christianity will continue to negatively influence them, perhaps even to adulthood.
