When the water runs out we see who's swimming nekkid. Maybe that's not the best analogy, but it's the one that comes to mind when I think of the vast majority of churches and temples and their leadership and what I saw of them in 2020— and then, even worse in many ways, what I saw of them with the jabs roll out in 2021-2022. Somehow, though, from the time I was kid, I knew they were not at all what they claimed to be.
Your childhood and young adult experience is similar to mine. My break from religion, however, came when George W said God spoke to him about starting the Iraq War. Huh? That was so far from my understanding of God but maybe it was just my opinion? Just about everyone I knew went along with it while I protested, and that's when religion became meaningless to me. I'm 66 now so may be too late to try again but I'm open to reading more again.

May your spiritual journey be blessed.
