Johnny,
Your story is heartbreaking. I can't imagine what if was like for you growing up.
My parents believed in a creator, but I can't remember them ever stepping foot into a church so I didn't have a religious background. My only experience with church as a child was when I was in 5th grade, I think. A friend of mine talked me into going to Sunday school with her. She went once or twice, then I was stuck going alone. I had to sit threw church service and I hated it. It was awful. They made me feel bad about myself because I didn't know anything about Jesus. I don't even remember what church it was and I was clearly too old for Sunday school. I only went a few times before asking my mother 'Do I have to keep going?'. She told me of course not. I have chosen to raise my kids without any influences by any church and they are free to make up their minds as to whatever religion they want. They are 21 & 16 now. My oldest is agnostic and my youngest is atheist. He told me he has a scientific mind. That makes sense because he has AS too
Anyway welcome
Tammy
