I Think Indoctrinating Children With Religion Is Child Abuse

Perhaps this title is rather extreme and blankets everything too easily with one simplistic sentence. But there's definitely a case for arguing it.
Speaking to an indoctrinated adult always make me feel worried for their children...

The term "indoctrinating" show an undeniably bias. Parents teaching their children what they believe about a faith or God is sensible and responsible. Adult children of all different religions and forms of atheism have grown up to reasonable adults and had no problem making up their own mind to follow or reject said belief and teaching.

@sleepyhead: and you should have every right to teach that belief set to your children without anyone telling you it is child abuse. That is my only point.

@GJOFJ3: My only point on this was that I worry, when speaking to indoctrinated adults, about their children.

The title is not a question or a point I am making; it's a preset one that gets suggested when searching for a relevant topic to post thoughts in.

@GJOFJ3: what do either the Holocaust or Marxism have to do with atheism?

The point is valid in a very broad sense. The argument must be made indoctrinating children with progressive thinking(a secular religion) is abuse.
Exposing children to diverse thought and modal values, opposing points of views, then allowing then to make their own choices when they come of age would be ideal.
This woukd require courage on the part of the religious or secular parent.
Extremisn either way is bad, I would agree

Its a valid argument but is it sound?

I wouldn't know. It's not my title, it's a preset one that comes up when selecting a topic to post my thoughts in.
