“I was raised Catholic” just translates to “I’m an atheist, but I feel kinda bad about it.”
“I was raised Mormon” means I’m gunna call myself agnostic and also I have anger issues
I was raised Mormon also comes with a buttload of desperate perfectionistic thought patterns that when you combine them with executive fuction issues that come with autism and/or ADHD pretty much guarantee you spend your life not only feeling like an unworthy failure, but being judged by your entire family. (Double down if you’re queer.) Congratulations! You fucked up a perfectly good kid is what you did. Look at it. It’s got anxiety. And no self-esteem. (And anger issues.)
