Well, I was going to mention that we're all riddled with bias, but that point seems to have already been made quite well.

Our formative years shape our mind, and I have no doubt that my atheism is largely a result of an upbringing that focused heavily on science with a milquetoast approach towards religion.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
