This should NEVER EVER happen, if you don't know what childhood indoctrination is it is basically teaching a child from like age 1 that what you believe in is true, be it your ideals, or other beliefs, but this is MAINLY in religion, and THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. Let the kid grow to be old enough to be able to make an assessment on whether he believes what you are trying to tell him or not, because NO CHILD should have their beliefs caused SOLELY because of their parents belief, it could make the kid boring and a religion freak that noone wants to hang around, among many other things, Childhood indoctrination is NOT okay, you should wait until they are old enough to understand it before you introduce them to religion, so they can make their own choices and not have their beliefs pre determined.

Why a parent would control their child's life and practically make all of his/her decisions for him/her i would never know, it is just out of order.

I have an answer for this, but can't word it correctly so bare with me.
If you are forced into a religion? It could either be good or bad. Good since that the child will obey by his religion and not sin. Causing the child to be better behaved in someway.
Bad because he might not get along with other children in school and be at risk of being bullied. He may not even want to be that religion.
Also, if people would want to make their own decision then so be it, but it would have to be over the ages of 20+ because if you take a look at society you will get what I'm saying.

This has happened before. In the Byzantyne Empire, Christian babies could be traded for taxes. These babies were turned into Islamic soldiers called the Jannisaries..
I don't really think it'll happen again, unless we wanted totally obideint soldiers.

This could never work. Even if you introduce them to religion later in life, they're still likely to stick with their parents' beliefs.

I dont like the way you worded your poll.... to be fair it is a little bit biased....
If you look at it from a parent's perspective they teach their children their beliefs. There is nothing wrong with that, we all would do the same thing...
A parents may decide "im catholic and I have a kid, I want them baptised..." there is nothing wrong with that. They bring them to church week after week, because they have to, they can't leave a child so young home alone.... and getting a baby sitter because "im catholic, but my child is undecided" is a little farfetched and weird...
A child may grow up and decide "I no longer want to be part of the Catholic church, I believe I want to be atheist, or jewish, or even buddist" soo what... there is nothing wrong with that..
On the account of growing up in a home that has religion, no a child can't help it, but if they dont like it they can stop when they are old enough. Like most things in life.
And if you are curious on why I say the pole in biased is it says yes and parent MUSTTT COMTROL THEIR CHILDS LIVES....
You and I both know thats not what a parent intends to do when baptizing a child...

I think it's good to some extent, like an easy way of explaining where we came from.
But, when they get to a certain age I think it should be the parent's duty to tell them the truth, that nobody really knows what's right, and it's up to them to make up their own mind.
