Hello, welcome!

Thanks for telling us your story, that's really interesting. You've done very well to fight out of it at such a young age.

Indeed, theism is not necessarily ignorance. There's all sorts of reasons that even intelligent and reasonable people are able to compartmentalise well enough to hold irrational beliefs. And there's the extremely strong emotional pull of indoctrination, which demands the brain defend it at all costs and make rationalisations.
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.
