Atheists/Non-Religious What was your Craziest Belief while in your Religion?

--I would like to hear the craziest belief you had or action you did because of your religion if you were a true believer.--
One of the goofiest things that I can think of that I did, was wearing a brown scapular. I truly believed(/was brainwashed into believing) that if I died wearing it, I would go to heaven no matter what. I eventually talked myself into the fact, after two months, that it was a magic charm. I realized that it was insane to believe in magic charms, and against my religion. Although many of my Catholic/Christian beliefs contradicted themselves and were evil/moronic, it was still a few years later, that I finally gave up on religion.
