I'm not saying that the parent has to even deliberately 'indoctrinate' the child. Childrens minds are incredibly malleable and children naturally look to their parents for guidance on how the world works. If the parents believe in a god, the children are very likely to believe in that god. It's the way that we are wired.
Simply talking about god (with a sense of belief) or regularly praying will probably 'indoctrinate' the child.

I know that but the fact remains that communist doctrine was against religion and hence presumably the teaching of religion by parents to their children
