I was raised Baptist Christian, dad was a preacher of various kinds at various times, specialized in preaching to kids. Started doubting at 17 and calling myself an atheist at around 19, 7 years ago. I wouldn't say I'm haunted by anything, I do wish I hadn't grown up so close-minded and I wish I could have nurtured my interest in science more without believing in young earth creationism. And I feel angry sometimes on behalf of my younger siblings and nieces and nephews who are all being brought the same way I was. But nothing super intense. Aside from what I mentioned I had a pretty good childhood. Oh except the fear of hell. Finally got over that all but completely when I was around 21 or 22 and stopped waking up scared in the middle of the night.
