I believe I have learned about it-- went to church my whole childhood, was confirmed and I also was very active in youth ministry where we did a lot of good for the poor and needy. All under the direction of the only TRUE christian I have ever met. A wonderful youth minister who taught what she preached. I've read the bible and the koran, and also Bertrand Russell. Mother liked going to church and father atheist. I was able to get a lot of life lessons from the church, but ultimately learned to use those lessons to develop as an adult while thinking and questioning as a non-believer.
