I'm afraid I won't be much help to you. I grew up in a religiously divided place in one of the most ferociously religious areas of the western world. Mum was devout but not pushy, Da was a free thinker, and only nominally Catholic. I went to Mass and Sunday school, was never molested by a priest (although there were a couple of novitiate nuns who figured prominently in some dreams that could have gotten me excommunicated), and in all had a gloriously happy childhood.
I think that from a very early age I had an inkling that the whole set up was a fraud, and so I suppose I never took it seriously enough to do me any lasting harm, much in the same way that 'Little Red Riding Hood' failed to instill in me a fear of talking wolves.
