Pentecostal Parents

[Athene]

As a former Pentecostal church attendee, I'm going to give credit where credit is due: Pentecostal services are so ridiculously over-the-top and the church props up such obvious fakery, that it makes it very simple for doubt/skepticism take root. 

I wonder how many former Pentecostals have eventually found themselves to be atheists, after witnessing the blatantly deceitful practice of speaking in tongues?

This thread certainly takes me back.

Anecdotal, but I 'run' the Freethought Society of the Midlands (FSM) in SC, and I am struck by how many people in the group were raised in a fundamentalist religion, particularly Pentecostalism.

 Any backlash running a freethought society in a state like SC?
 I've heard  South Carolina's a bit more progressive than other Southern states.
