Is teaching your child about your religion mental abuse?

[Craterus]

Survival Instinct? No. Had it been an instinct, there would be no suicides and no self-sacrifice.

Procreation Instinct? No. Monks/Nuns and secular people who remain willingly childless clearly do not follow it.

Altruist Instinct? Once again, no. Acts of altruism are not universal.

Etc.? There is no etc. Humans have no instincts. If an "instinct" can be overcome, it's not an instinct. If an "instinct" is not universal for the species, it's not an instinct.

We can clearly go beyond our instincts. Overrule them. Use whatever term you like, those are still instincts.

Even more basically [than the survival instinct], an aversion to pain? We instinctively avoid it. Bring up sadism if you will but I'd argue that that is a psychological overruling of our instincts in order to achieve another instinct.

All humans pursue pleasure and happiness. Or at least what they think will grant them those two things.

That satisfy your criteria?
