My story is kind of complicated. My family members are moderates, they don't believe in Hell, they practice religion for comfort, but I was taught in school religion the fundamentalist way. I believed in Hell untill 7th grade, then I spoked once with a friend for my father and he told me that a loving God wouldn't torure you in Hell, no matter what you did. He also opened my eyes about many things which didn't make sense about the faith. He wasn't atheist, he was moderate, he told me that he believed in Jesus. I didn't became atheist at that time, I became moderate too. I accepted the idea of no Hell quite quick, I didn't fear that it might exist. What I had a problem with was that I was brainwashed for so many years and that my parents might've believed in Hell. I found out one year later that they don't believe in Hell either. As how I became an atheist, that is another story. A story linked to this, but still another story. As years passed I got more curious and found more and more things that make no sense about the faith, so I've finally left it.
The fact that I was brainwashed still bugs me from time to time, but what bugs me even more is that it happened right under my parents noses and they didn't seem socked when they found out about it. Not enough shocked at the very least.
