All i am saying is that the introduction of religios ideas as TRUTH at such a young and impressionable age can warp the foundations of thought later in life. I know it obviously wont be in every case, thinking that would be naive, but i was suggesting its removal would avoid possible problems.
With all due respect to yourself, it may well have had an affect on u without you knowing. Changing religions doesnt show u are free of it. Plus even if you are free of a biast foundation for critical thinking about belief, it deffinately doesnt show that that is the case for everyone els.
I have a personal friend who had been brought up a Jehova's Witness. She at reaching univerity level had nice dreams and aspirations including becoming a rollercoaster engineer
. Sadly however she droped out to pursue religious goals, going door to door. She did let slip to me once that she is locked in her religion through fear. Even though she logically knew the ideas of being punished on a judgment day for turning her back was absurd, she couldnt shake off the fear that has been intergrated into her brain at such a young age. No doubt i know she has a nice family, which shows how dangerous religious truths can be to a small child even with good intentions there. Fear obviously being one of the obviously worse outcomes.
This is just one example of such adverse affects that in my mind can so safly be avoided.
