there is enough evidence throughout history and in the present day world that shows indoctrination brings with it many risks, costs and dangers, which is the topic of this thread.

would it be a fair presumption to say that you do not feel you are indoctrinating your child/children into religion as per your own beliefs?
that they are given a fair chance to say 'no' or 'I don't want to go to church/mass/prayer/whatever' to which you listen, accept and respect without making them go anyway whilst trying to convince them that religion 'is best' (and that, more to the point, your religious beliefs are best and that they should really be a part of it)?
that they are fully aware and educated in not only other religions that they could chose to be a part of, but also not be a part of any religion at all?

and I repeat, ideologies themselves are not an issue for me. but the manner in which someone may become a part of it, is.
