My own religion
Abusive indoctrination is the actual

Well, there is a bit more to psychology than that, when it comes to beliefs.

Why wonder? They will decide for themselves, regardless.I have to wonder though as to how many who get such an education might be more likely to rebel, given they just might think they had been cheated in life.
I don't think they are unfounded, given the figures. I think your experience is the odd one out in fact.Why wonder? They will decide for themselves, regardless.
I went to a private religious school as a child. It not only did not stop me from asking questions, I never bought into the religion to begin with. So from my own experience, your suspicions are fully unfounded. People will doubt or not depending on who they are how they move through life. And teaching religion or not teaching it doesn't change that.
Judging by most of the kids I went to school with, my experience was not that unusual. As many of them grew up to reject religion as an active part of their lives. Though I suspect many will still claim the religion if asked on a survey.I don't think they are unfounded, given the figures. I think your experience is the odd one out in fact.
Why think I clung to anything, when I've come to my beliefs by reasoning - subjective or not. You seem to just cast aside the fact that the majority having religious beliefs as children will likely keep these or just transfer to something similar. Sounds more like indoctrination than independent thinking to me.Yeah, notice the "I" you use. So right back at you, I really don't understand how you cling to your upbringing, culture and beliefs. Given the denial of subjectivity and yet also the idea that this subjectivity is special.
But we aren't just talking about the more multi-cultural countries where one's belief hardly matters. I am talking more as to worldwide.Judging by most of the kids I went to school with, my experience was not that unusual. As many of them grew up to reject religion as an active part of their lives.

Perhaps this approach is hardly feasible for all, but I would suggest that for those who would claim to be honest in all things then this approach as to having beliefs is a more serious one - in knowing the pitfalls first before setting out on a journey that could be more like caving than much else, that is, descending a rabbit hole.
And this isn't about me but simply about the dangers of not recognising the frailty of our human nature, which so many just do not seem to understand.
Any comments?
