Answer

The answer is MAKEBELIEVE.

Answer Explanation

The clue implies that the word refers to influencing someone's beliefs, but in a deceptive or insincere manner. "Indoctrinate" hints at the idea of influencing or teaching someone, while "sham" suggests that it's not authentic or real. "All the same" emphasizes that despite the attempt to indoctrinate, the result is still false or deceptive. "Make believe" means to pretend or imagine something as real, often used in the context of children's games or storytelling, which fits the deceptive nature hinted at in the clue.
