What is another word for 'being exposed to'?

I'm trying to think of the word for someone sort of being forced to be exposed to an idea or belief, but I can't think of it. I'll know it when I see it, but it's slipping my mind.

An example of how I'm trying to use it:

... being _____ to Christian beliefs.

I keep wanting to say susceptible, but I know that's not right. Is it? Because susceptible is more like vulnerable, correct?

I know I'm looking for a specific word, but if anything else comes to mind (a phrase, etc) please feel free to share.

PS: The example is not the complete sentence I am trying to use, but it is the most relevant part of the sentence.


Solution 1:

Perhaps Subjected is the word you are looking for. It can be defined as:

Verb

  • To cause or force to undergo (a particular experience or form of treatment).

"He'd subjected her to a terrifying ordeal"

Solution 2:

The OP says " being forced to be exposed to an idea or belief"

"indoctrinate" - to instruct in a doctrine or ideology, esp. dogmatically, to imbue with a partisan or ideological point of view.

"being indoctrinated in Christian beliefs"

  • "there will always be a segment of society that chooses or is indoctrinated to ignore these rules."
  • "women are indoctrinated to be passive even though they are educated and encouraged to go into the work"
  • "many parents were concerned that their students were being indoctrinated to accept the existence of space aliens"

Solution 3:

Beliefs are often described as being inflicted on someone:

inflict ɪnˈflɪkt

verb

past tense: inflicted; past participle: inflicted

impose something unwelcome on.

"she is wrong to inflict her beliefs on everyone else"
