Neither. Popular culture does.
A proper exposure to God and religion can help to counteract the real brainwashing that popular culture is constantly throwing at all of us in books, movies, TV, songs, advertisements, and even video games.
Popular culture is constantly bombarding us with intensive, not-so-forcible indoctrination, aimed at setting up worldly convictions and attitudes.
Popular culture comes at us from all directions including books, movies, TV, songs, advertisements, video games and even the Internet.
A few of the these immoral values include:
- Lust and Sex (outside of marriage)
- A disrespect for God and religion
- A disrespect for lawful authority
- A disrespect for our human dignity
- Envy, greed and consumerism
- Anger and Violence
- Drug abuse including smoking and alcohol
- Vanity, outside is more important than inside
- Prejudice and hate
I think that if we expose our children to all this immorality without the moral anchor of God and religion "until they can come to a conclusion of their own" then we would be unwise, irresponsible, and frequently too late.
With love in Christ.

Christians. Cigarettes may or may not cause cancer. Christians - especially the ones trying to 'save' you - just bring sorrow and pain into your life, and bitterness. Struggles in faith, and family. Christians practice more brainwashing. They will take from you and yours, 'give to God'. Be 'saved' or you will burn in hell. Go out into the world and see. Cigarettes just want to take your money. Christians will take your soul.

Brainwashing is such an ugly word.
And kind of inaccurate. How do we define Brainwashing, and separate it from education?
Christianity teaches about forgiveness and Godly behavior, cigarette companies educate about that soothing smooth taste.
And why is Brain washing so bad, when other forms of washing is so good? think aboout clothes washing, dish washing, car washing. Those are all good things, right?
I don't know- maybe I should take nap.

You do by falsely accusing true Christians of unrighteousness. Christians don't promote anything that does harm to a body or soul. When you mock Christians, you mock Jesus Christ. When you persecute Christians, you are persecuting Christ. By the same token if you give a drink to someone, cloth them and feed them in the name of Jesus, it's the same as doing that for Jesus.
