Indoctrinating Children in Religion

[robvalue]

I think religious education is absolutely fine, although there's really no need to begin it at an early age. Kids do not need to know about all that. If you can't parent them without using religion, then you just suck.

Sadly, I doubt many parents would be capable of even realizing the difference between education and indoctrination.

I say, if you're so sure of your stuff, let the kid grow up free from it all, then explain it to them when they're 16. It's then up to them whether they accept it or not. And if you treat them any differently for rejecting your beliefs, you are a horrible person. If you must mention it earlier then that, own up that these are your beliefs and not simply facts. Again, difficult for many theists to understand that distinction I know.

Is there any religious theist on the board with children, who has not indoctrinated them at an early age?
