It seems that those who are protesting the idea the most are those who have been negatively affected by religion and thus I am lead to believe that is the real reason for the thread.
And I also don't agree that a belief struction != religion, as the two are indistinguishable from my POV.
Be that as it may, I stand by my original post and will add that we "indoctrinate" our children regardless of what we do by simple virtue of being their parents.
If it is to occur regardless, then I vote for doing it in a positive fashion as opposed to letting a child founder without direction because we are afraid of 'damaging' them with our own beliefs.
The other consequence of not teaching them is to let them get their beliefs and ideals from school and society, which I think is already happening too much.
