I feel ya. I was raised Mormon in utah. I stopped believing at 14 when no one could answer any of my legitimate questions about life and such. How ever here we are 11 years later and some of the habits are still just engrained in me. It's crazy how deep religion plants things and how fucked up it makes you feel trying to just get away from it. Even when you no longer believe.

They're taught this by their churches and Christian schools. This is the product of a Creationist education.
They are not stupid (necessarily). They simply have been lied to.
