Is the Lord’s Prayer “straight-up youth brainwashing” too?

I went to schools in the US and UK where we said the pledge on occasion in the former and the Lord’s Prayer on occasion in the latter, and they both seemed like harmless traditions. (The UK school essentially had a religious cultural background, but turning us into observant Christians was most certainly not a goal of the faculty. Similarly I don’t think the pledge turns people into nationalists.)

If that's what both are, they don't seem to be doing what you're suggesting.

I got punished in elementary school because I didn't say "under God" when reciting the pledge of allegiance. While these means aren't 100% effective, nonparticipation is noticed, is punished, and labeling children as "problematic" for insufficient or wrong religiosity / patriotism can snowball and stick with them for life.
