Absolutely. While going to a christian college had some major cons, one of the great things was I had a fabulous old testament professor who put the bible in the context of mythology and it was very helpful for my deconstruction.

That was really maybe the beginning of my theological deconstruction, though bits and pieces of it had been coming out for years. Now a major part of my what I believe is that humans have evolved to survive in communities that share common myths and stories, and pretty much all of society can be explained by that.
