I was also raised in organized religion and found thru the years that some aspects were helpful in my life. I guess this is the essence of outgrowing something for I now realize I was in need of the faith because I had none in myself. As I came to understand the basic flaw in the church I was compelled to leave behind the dogma. What is the flaw? Isolation from the rest of the world. I have been able to gather much more insight into spirituality, now that I dont think everyone who thinks differently is wrong. I dont think any of the god symbols are wrong if they give people the crutch they require to function in society.
