Yes - if Satanists are also allowed to.

Yes - but only christians.

You can only vote on one answer.

Where do we draw the line? If christians are allowed to indoctrinate children why shouldn't other groups be allowed to indoctrinate childen with their beliefs?

EDIT:
I'm asking about christians attempting to indoctrinate children in general. I don't mean parents teaching their own children.

God advises to do so.

Proverbs 22:6

6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

@GraceFromEP: Some of us don't believe in your god and should like to protect our children from religious zealots.

Whatever you wish. God holds parents responsible for how they raise their children, and that's why he instructed them to raise them in the Lord. He was pretty zealous about that, and you just made fun of Him. @suzie1960:

@GraceFromEP: I don't believe in your god. I raised my children as I saw fit and managed to shield them from exploitation by christians.

@GraceFromEP: Atheists cannot believe in the existence of gods (other than as figments of some peoples' imaginations) by definition. Anyone who believes gods are real is not atheists. It's that simple.

If someone presented proof that their god exists I would consider it. Thus far, nobody has presented any evidence supporting the hypothesis that the christian god exists. The best they can do is tell me I need to believe it exists before I'll be able to see the evidence. That's just not good enough.
