We all indoctrinate our children with our beliefs. Many atheists have stated in this forum that they wouldn't allow their children to be exposed to christianiy or other religions. Kids are being told by parents all the time that there is no God. We also send our kids to school whether they want to go or not. Most kids, if given the choice, would choose not to go. If I believe that we need God for our salvation and existence, why would I purposely withhold that from my children? Do you think I'm not going to tell my children to look both ways before crossing the street, but rather let them learn that for themselves or wait until they are sixteen? As for circumcision, I was circumcised and I had my son circumcised. We're both very happy about it. As far as I know, my brothers are all fine with it too. A friend of mine in the military had it done to him in his twenties, and he wished he had it done as a baby. I also made sure my children got their shots, which they didn't appreciate at the time.
