It took a long time for me to raise myself up out of that mire of hypocrisy and lies. I was unfortunate enough to grow up with a grandfather as a pastor and a family that followed him blindly. That being said they aren't bad people themselves, just gullible and under the influence of bullshit. At 15 I began to question the bible, I remember learning about the OT and questioning why slavery, execution and other terrible acts were ok with god. From there my questions turned to cynicism and hatred for the church goers around me. They were just like the people around us who were "lost" and acted no differently save for their haughty pious attitudes.
At 20 I stopped going to church and ceased thinking about it while still retaining a belief in god, until I had a discussion with some friends about religion and started down a road of introspection and fact checking. At 23 here I am, an atheist leaning towards anti-theism and I've never felt better about my life and my decision to ditch the dogma.
