Are the people at your church really so sheltered that they assume everyone starts out with faith which they seek to lose? Your time might be better spent bringing word of the wider world into that dark place under your steeple. Hopefully they at least understand that people believe in all manner of religions and differing interpretations of the same religion in addition to holding no religious beliefs at all.
Is testing your own foundational beliefs the reason you keep coming back, Drich? Do you toy with the idea of casting off your narrow beliefs and entering the wider world?
