Definition of fact: "a thing that is known or proved to be true"

We generally don't consider something only a portion of the populace knows to be true to be fact. Otherwise I could just as easily say that it is a fact that any given religion (for the sake of argument here we'll use Baha'i) is definitely true.

And no one has offered proof that religion = indoctrination.[/quote]

Definition of indoctrinate: "teach (a person or group) to accept a set of beliefs uncritically"

When you force children, who do not yet have the mental development to think critically, to accept whatever religion you are pushing as true, it is a fact. Most believers were indoctrinated as a minor. [/quote]

Question for you PP: if you teach your children that there is no God, are you indoctrinating them? They can't think critically about that statement.[/quote]
