1 thought on “RELIGIOUS INDOCTRINATION: “Think for Yourself!””

1. Agree that religious training is a particularly insidious form of indoctrination, but let’s not pretend, either, that everyone, religious or not, does not attempt to shape the moral and worldview of children; they are the key to actualizing the future as we envision it or hope it to be. I would also suggest that it’s difficult to disentangle cultural practice from religious practice. Consider circumcision, if you (ouch!) will. Is that purely a ‘religious’ practice or is it, as anthropologists suggest, a cultural marker for who physically and truly belongs to a tribe or clan and who does not? Tatoos and other physical imprints do the same thing in other cultures.
