Your concern is warranted.
Just because you cleansed the wound doesn't mean it can't get infected by something else. The urge to embrace certainty in dogma is strong in us all and dogma is not solely the domain of religion. You'll always be being proselytized to from all sides. Always.
Being possessive of your clarity is the right move, never relinquish it and never commit to one mode of thought or ideology.
Let everyone show you their hand and never, ever show all of yours.
There is no advantage in showing people how you tick and every advantage in knowing how they do. It'll allow you to seamlessly navigate through the ebb and flow of whatever lunacy of the day is popular while keeping your head.
Because the world is insane and humanity is a mob. It always has been, it always will be. Survive it and enjoy the show.
