> Encouraging researching the scientific method is itself indoctrination

If you're thinking critically about it (i.e. testing it, questioning its predictions and assumptions, et cetera), it's not indoctrination. If it is, then you've broadened the definition of indoctrination to be equivalent to thought, which is a useless overgeneralization.

And to be clear, you can be religious and not be indoctrinated.
