Well done ... I was brought up in religion (Catholicism ... perhaps worse than mainstream Anglicanism but nowhere near as bad as your experiences) and sent to Catholic schools all my life. I could easily have fallen to another religion (I experimented with UFOlogy, gods as astronauts and so on, which I now consider to be a religion almost as much as others) but, daft as it sounds, Science Fiction saved me and opened my mind to science and from there on it was all uphill. Anyway, welcome to the forum
