I agree with Livia. I have, over the years, had many a disagreement with religion and its practices, its dogma, its beliefs and, if I may be so bold, blatant hypocrisy. I had found no comfort or reason to stay in the religion I was brought up in for reasons that do not need to be listed here. Suffice to say, I took a different path with my life as I went into adulthood. I am now at peace with my decision to leave the church of my youth and have found a new spiritual home where I feel comfortable and where the people accept me for exactly who and what I am.
