That means that there's no reason to hide from ideas that have traditionally been considered faith-breaking. Truth can only confirm God, right?

Not that far-removed from my own experience, and my own reasoning.
Basically my 'Eureka' moment was when it occurred to me that Religion and God are not the same thing.
Religion tells you what they believe is the "Truth" about God.
That doesn't mean it REALLY IS the Truth.
And if it turns out that there really is a God,
and He really is synonymous with the Truth,
and that I failed to question the "Truth" that Religion was teaching, which was actually a pack of Lies,
then God/Truth is going to be pissed with me,
for not using the perfectly good brain that He gave me to use
to figure that shit out,
and that I chose instead to take the word of fallible human idiots.
