Welcome to the forums, WL.
I can very much relate to the anger you're feeling right now. It's only natural to feel this way once you realize you've been fed lies. With time, it will pass. I understand how it might seem like you've wasted your life, but I'm certain that being religious for all these years doesn't mean you haven't learned or gained anything from the experience. It's best to focus on the present and leave the past behind. After all, there's nothing you can do about it now and you still have a choice about the future. Better late than never.
