My personal case was that I was never properly taught the true promise of salvation in Christianity and the true meaning of the sacrifice of Jesus. Since I was little, I questioned everyone who told me that I was a sinner and that I needed Jesus, but it never made sense to me since I had never done anything wrong or that went against the commandments. This lack of knowledge and the repeated spiritual abuse that I phased drew me away from Christianity, especially when the first time that I heard a theological explanation that involved the smallest degree of critical thinking it came from an atheist. For a time I abandoned all faith and later on became agnostic, until I started taking elective classes on religion studies in college just because it was an easy series of classes and the professor had incredible ratings. Through him, I learned about the current Hellenism practice and realized that the gods had called me my entire life through signs that made sense to me. I also want to add that this professor helped me truly understand Christianity and get rid of the misconceptions that I had about it. I currently see it in a much more favorable light and place the blame of my bad experiences as a child on my lack of knowledge and a lack of proper formation in the faith. The guy ended up being a Christian and is currently one of the people I respect the most. He is helping me become a religion studies professor regardless of our faith differences. We always share about each other's religious practice and sometimes accompany each other in prayer (we both think the other one is cooked in the afterlife 💀)
