People come to atheism all sorts of ways. But many many of us were once Christian, or Muslim or Mormon or something else. Many, like me have been raised in very actively Christian household and were subjected to plenty of religious education. Frankly, I've just about all the immersion I can stand.
Since then I have read other things I'd be happy to share. But I don't think you'd like to immerse yourself in some secular critical studies of the Bible?
Like those of us who are former devout Christians who have actually read the whole bible.
We get told not to question. When you ask why god would make us curious and tell us not to question you get punished.
