    I’m guessing that is the latter, mainly because I had a similar experience with Christianity. Growing up, I always assumed that everyone knew it was probably not true but went along with it for the sense of community and support that came along with going to church, because how could all of this absolutely insane stuff have actually happened. I assumed that bible “stories” were just that, stories and metaphors. It was a pretty huge shock to find that people believed them literally.
