Formerly religious people, do you think your religion damages you in any way, or was it beneficial?

*damaged

I got out early enough and taught myself how to think that it never penetrated my brain regarding my sexuality. I think I'm lucky though, most religious gay kids hate themselves.

I feel like it kept me open minded long enough to confirm a few things.

Not sure, my current beliefs are completely unrelated to my religious background growing up

I was raised in a strict fundamentalist home so of course it f*cked me up.

I was taught we are worthless worms and still have a hard time believing I deserve anything good.

As a female I was forced to STFU and be subservient to men even though I had a lot to say. I still don't function well around men.

I can't think of a single benefit from my religious experience.
