Another good example of this was the father who walked down the corridor surrounding the interior of the temple leading his son by the hand. In the Hindu faith there is an expectation that you go to the temple with a mind free of anger, worry and other emotions that would prevent you from achieving inner peace. To do this, members can walk down a corridor that runs in a circle around the main chamber of the temple as many times as they deem necessary. Although the purpose of this exercise was most likely lost on the boy (who appeared to be about four years old), it was obvious that the boy's father wanted him to learn the practice, regardless of whether he understood the reasoning or not. This illustrates the idea of ​​indoctrination, which is the teaching of religious practices and ideas at a young age if children are able to understand them so that, when they grow up, those practices and ideas become second nature, accepted without question ( Ray “Religion as a virus”). The hope is that religion and its practices become an integral part of the child, something that he feels is an important part of his childhood and his perception of himself. The process of indoctrination and imprinting is obviously a long and very personal process, and one that religions seem to prefer to be permanent (Ray “Religion as a Virus”). Here too the metaphor of antibodies comes into play
