The preachers are a different matter entirely. But I kicked the habit of listening to them when they told us kids, god would take what's most dear to us if we sin. For a while I was scared shitless, but after that another feeling took over. I didn't want anything to do with a god behaving that way. It was my first step towards atheism - as a 7 year old, since I didn't want to believe in or pray to such a creature.
