I recall an (unusual) sermon about Sodom and Gomorrha and their actual failing was noted as inhospitality, not homosexuality. This was 1973 and I was a sophomore in High School. No idea what sparked the rev to go there, but over a long term basis, it was a very helpful thing for me to hear at the time, as a gay teen.
So my point, even teenagers have the ability of selective hearing/memory, so common among the cafeteria Christians I find everywhere these days, that even a fairly strict religious experience throughout childhood would still have those important moments that plant the seeds for a better adulthood than what might be expected.
