    that statement could only come from the mouth of a person who is so overwhelmed by their ideological perspective that they can't even recognize it as an ideological perspective (ie a fanatic)

    PC nonsense.

    "Other people's outlook on life is an ideology, a result of indoctrination, but mine is not! I am open-minded! I see things as they really are!"

    You're misrepresenting me. I never said people don't become ideologues or become indoctrinated in their lives. I simply said that parents aren't always the ones to do it, with the exception of religiosity. How many dinner tables feature liberal parents and conservative children, or vice-versa? Now how many dinner tables feature Jewish parents and Muslim children?

    People are far more likely to differ from their parents in politics than religion.

    a more appropriate parallel would be "how many dinner tables feature american liberal parents and monarchist children"

    Parenting is indoctrination.

    All parents are, directly or indirectly, teaching their children a particular set of statements about true and false, right and wrong.
