Does this really surprise you? I mean, the job of a parent is to teach their kids. If a parent thinks something is true, they will pass that along to their kids. They aren't going to teach their kids something they don't believe in. It's been going on since the beginning of time. "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." "A chip off the old block." etc.

Religious indoctrination is NOT teaching. Secondly, not everyone indoctrinates their children. I know of several couples who "teach" their children about the world around them, consequences of actions, etc. Religion enters into it only as an anthropological concept: "Some people believe..." Some would say such "godless" teaching is bad and provides no moral or ethical foundation, but I disagree. I can think of a lot of things that "have been going on since the beginning of time;" that's a sorry basis for keeping them going.
