Same reason children are indoctrinated into everything as a kid: they are extremely impressionable.

There's a reason the pledge of allegiance is taught in schools, slavery and civil rights are some of the first concepts you cover in history, there is a monopoly jr, the disney channel has been putting gay characters in everything, etc etc.

As a parent your job is to mold your children in a way you feel is best.

If religion has played a beneficial role in your life then naturally you would pass that on.

Also religion is a common primary vehicle to deliver morals.

This saying should really be changed to "he will be unlikely to depart from it"

Technically children are indoctrinated in everything.

Kids can't exactly choose where they're born so they've no choice but to pick up what's around them.

This is why I plan to raise my children--should I have any--secular until they're old enough to make an informed decision for themselves. Hopefully my future wife will be on board with that.

As long as the parents don't belong to a crazy church or something, I don't see anything wrong with it. If anything, it helps them develop. I mean, when I was in sunday school, I don't remember ever being taught anything crazy. It was mostly about being kind, doing as your parents ask, and how much Jesus loves you.

Oh, and Noah's ark. :v We had a strange amount of focus on Noah's ark. I guess because kids like animals?

Noah's ark is a staple in children's Sunday School, mainly because it's a simple and easy to understand lesson that can keep their attention.

Parents teach their kids their own beliefs. My whole family is catholic, I was raised going to church every Sunday and I did catechism classes and all that.

Beliefs are harmless and generally sound - if they aren't stuck in some deeply entrenched dogmatic mire.

The world clearly needs less people being from the latter, raising their kids into it.

This. It's mind boggling that TC didn't realize this before making the topic.
