Chat Is It Possible To Have Religious Trauma Without Ever Actually Being Apart Of A Religion At Any Point

Chat is it possible to have religious trauma without ever actually being apart of a religion at any point in my life-?

like I just have such negative feelings towards Christianity specifically but most of them are because of the things some people have done because “god told them to” or whatever. And the thing is I have loved ones and friends who are religious and I love them and respect them and their beliefs because they’re good people

but I’m wary of Christianity as a whole because it feels like a gamble when going to a church for any reason. Like you COULD walk into a community of people who love and accept you for being neurodivergent and lgbtqia+. Or you could walk into a community that demonizes you for all of that and more and tells you to repent or go to hell.

and also I don’t really like that one little detail that says I’m gonna go to hell and be tortured eternally solely because I don’t believe in god :/ as someone who’s not religious, it’s kinda hard NOT to have a negative reaction to that

disclaimer: THIS IS NOT A POST HATING ON ALL CHRISTIANS. I have multiple family members and close friends who are religious and Christian, and I love them all sm and I respect their beliefs. I’ve had a lot of really cool conversations with some friends about what they believe will happen after death vs what I believe and i really love those conversations! :3 this is specifically my grievances with the bad side of the Christian community TvT
