What do you think of engineering a religion that would increase happiness, productivity, morality, and other beneficial traits, and then force these religious pills down everybody's throats (sort of like giving pills to a cat)?
Or if the social engineers decided that atheism would be best, what about forcing atheism pills down everybody's throats?
Childhood indoctrination is very much like this IMO.
No not in the least, sorry but in my experience most children are not indoctrinated, many Christian parents haven't the interest to even teach their children anything. Today it seems that parents are to busy with their lives and getting ahead.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
