My own childhood experience of religion was really quite benign; my "anti-religious/spiritual" sentiments developed simply because none of what was served up to me made any sense at all. It still doesn't. I simply see no reason to believe what seems so inherently improbable.

One of the verses of the Tao Te Ching talks about how people, like trees, whose branches become rigid, are most susceptible to breakage. It's best to keep our minds and beliefs limber and pliable as long as possible in that flexibility allows us maximum growth

I can imagine nothing less flexible and pliable, or less conducive to growth, than fundamentalist religion.
