Rockin' Flames don't get upset because you are using the word differently than what someone else intended..
Indoctrinated doesn't mean forced, it doesn't mean brainwashed.. it means someone making choices but their choices are a reflection of of the options available and the influences of those around them.
We're ALL indoctrinated in many ways, some of that is positive (i.e. indoctrinated into social normals, values, morals, etc), so don't see indoctrinated as synonymous with brainwashing.
So much of our culture is influenced by Christianity, no one who lives in our culture isn't indoctrinated in it to some degree.
