I'm not implicating anything by giving out the dictionary definitions, other than Brainwashing does not mean believing in something for which there is no proof/logic. I can logically say, however, that I was not brainwashed into Christianity. It is a choice that I made alone, and nothing anyone can say will serve to alter that choice. So even if someone says "You are brainwashed because you believe in something that can't be proven," I can say to them "I was not brainwashed, this is my choice and my choice alone."
