This is a question for atheists here that come from a religious background. Do you have any religious hangups from the past that you still fall back on from time to time? Fears of hell or the supernatural? Behavioral patterns you still feel yourself fall back on or drawn to?
It took a long time for me to shed the indoctrination I grew up with, but I do feel I've successfully pulled out the worst of it. I still catch myself from time to time falling back into old thought patterns, especially in terms of what I should or shouldn't be doing in accordance to what I think is morally right - this especially happens with things I havent stopped to think about too deeply why I feel the way I do on a given subject
For example, I used to be very anti-assisted suicide without realising wholly why, but after thinking about it more deeply, I've been able to change my thoughts on that
What about you? Do you have any hangups you notice from time to time due to your religious past?
