It is a spectrum from "uber" to "neutral". On a scale where 10 was maximally "uber" and zero is liberal Christian, my family was probably a 7.5 in an environment that was, constitutionally, about an 8.

But my reason for leaving the faith would have been the same regardless of how authoritarian / literalist / inerrantist my group was. All religion suffers from a fundamental problem: it is based on a failed theory of knowledge that neither explains nor predicts experienced reality.

I never came to it I never was religious in any shape or form and neither were my rellies.
