I got fed similar stuff (although only for kindergarten plus maybe four years of catechism once or twice a week after school) but it just didn't resonate with me. I can't explain it. I was certainly not consciously using critical thinking at that age. Some of us seem to have been lucky enough to have been born with a hard-wired bullshit detector. I remember my one pervading thought through the whole thing was puzzlement. Why were they feeding us this nonsense? I just didn't get it.
I was an atheist through most of this. It had an effect on me emotionally, mostly. But eventually my brain broke down and I started believing too.
