Group socialization is not always indoctrination. Indoctrination impliess a religious (= not provable) doctrine, while socialization does not.

Not everybody is told that the horrible stories from the Bible are mandates from god. That kind of socialization is rather specific to ignorant religious groups.

Sure, this video is good work, as you say. But he has done a LOT of really bad work, and this in no way mitigates his attempts to make the awful Bible palatable for children.
