Same. The denomination I grew up in was adamant that the Bible had to be literally true in its entirety or none of it was valid at all. One I'd convinced myself that evolution was real and the universe was more than 6000 years old, I was like... "Welp, guess I gotta be an atheist now."

    Ah, well. That's a bit different. I was trying to highlight how denominations like the one you grew up in chase away souls in the more liberal denominations. It was harder to see the lies when were not so falsifiable. But the science lies, aka the falsifiable ones, led me to explore a bit more. I think our paths converge there.
