It's religion, no more no less. Conditioning and manipulation, including of children, is everywhere. Most people looked pretty sincere to me, they didn't try to hide their intentions, and the chilldren didn't look unhappy.

Hi Joy, how are things in the Vaatican?
There's religion and there's religion. I'm sure that there are more 
similar examples in other religions, but that doesn't mean that this 
documentary shows just standard practices in any religion or 
christendom. I hope there are no Buddhacamps anywhere in the world.
The fact that everybody still looks happy doesn't prove anthing, 
Hitlerjugend also used to look very happy.

They treat them fairly well, I suppose. Most of them would have to 
restrict their activities to charity and household, but otherwise they 
should be all right.
The cruel treatment of widows in hinduïsm is appalling of course, but 
it's no excuse for the Jesuscamp
