Not sure, I'm nearly 40. Felt this way since I was old enough to have an opinion. But I hear that sentiment a lot, as religious people think being a cultist is a default position... its not. Kids are just indoctrinated.

I'm an atheist but I realized like 5 years ago that sweeping generalisations are problematic and often the result of being indoctrinated, religiously or through social media.

A lot of them would have you imprisoned if they had your way. It's become painfully obvious to me, especially with everything happening with the yank christofascists, that there are a lot of religious wackos out there kept in check by secularism. They'd had you under the boot heel in a second if they could.

I never understood the base level of acceptance theism has when they keep doing evil things, every time they get power. Religion isn't your friend.
