If and when you took your child to these institutions would you let them know they were free to go to this system regularly? If they chose different then you would you accompany them?

What Im saying is.."most" parents and grandparents indoctrinate their children into the religion of their choice. The child has no choice or voice of their own.
But what happens when the kid actually becomes a teenager? they do what all adolescents do, they test the boundaries of their thinking. Some will certainly stick to what they were raised on, some will not. Decisions have to be made for kids (all facets of life) and it is parents doing so in their best interest or what they feel is, it's inevitable. To me I see it as more of a natural parental mechanism then just indoctrination.
