Legit tho I've heard that the best way to make an atheist is to send a kid to Catholic school

#maybe that was my lapsed mother's intention when she considered sending me to catholic kindergarten #however my early-blooming psychosis-having ass would have been the exception to the rule #just being eleven and pychotic and going to baptist church was enough to do long-lasting damage and brainwashing #imagine being smol and believing everything you're told #I'm still mad tho that theta's New Jersey catholic school sex ed was better than my Indiana public school sex ed #her sex ed was basically 'don't do this before marriage but we know you're going to do it anyway so use a condom don't tell the pope' #mine was 'condoms don't work so don't bother using them' #why yes my school was labeled a baby-making factory in national newspapers why do you ask #and why yes my state had a massive HIV outbreak by the time I moved out #tho that was also fueled by the banning of needle exchanges #the planned parenthoods being chased out didn't help tho
