When I was a kid I was forced into church and Christian school. I was required to read the Bible every day of the week.
This was how I realized it was all bullshit. I believed fully in God until about age 12 or so, when I completed my first pass of the Bible.
It really is the fastest way to make average intelligence or higher Christians shed their faith.
Thats why they will only memorise a few passages and not actually study it academically.
