What drove me away from religion was an extreme discomfort with being controled.

Obviously. You words here bear that out quite clearly.
What I'm saying is that the experience of religion needn't be one of control.
In the same way that the experience of sex needn't be one of rape.
My earliest experiences with faith were symbolic, not religious.
My earliest experiences with religion were those of love and being loved by family.
While we partook of religion only ceremoniously, our faith wasn't in religion.
Family was our religion.
