Some of what I say comes from firsthand experience. I used to feel like shit after leaving church sometimes even though I didn't even really believe in the Christian concept of god. That may sound ridiculous, but when these concepts are forced on you for well over a decade (at that point) then you have residual traces of indoctrination whether you like it or not. I've struggled with severe depression for a long time and the last thing I needed to hear at the time was that I was worthless and nothing without god. It is truly harmful and it caused me unneeded and unnecessary anguish at the time.
(You must have some psychological or sociological training. Very astute observations. Wish I could give you another rep)
