People who grew up without any religious influence, do you find religion insane?

Religion is taught, as a child you're educated by your parents and church. As an adult you either continue to believe this or you see logic and reality and grow distant from it. I would love to see some statistics of religious people who grew up without religion in their family.

My parents were atheists, they never brought any talk about religion into our home. None of my friends' families did either. The first introduction I had to Christianity was when I changed schools at 10 and suddenly we were singing hymns and reading excerpts from The Bible. We then had religious education classes.

Even back then with my young impressionable mind I still remember thinking that this was crazy. I felt like a complete outlier, laughing at these ridiculous and absurd stories that we were meant to take as fact. Why was it that every other class we took had to succeed on facts, history, data and validation, yet with RE it was "just because"?

I remember failing RE miserably, getting detention and sent to the headmaster's office because I said during a history class that religion caused so many wars. I think at this age of my life I had been taught too much about the reality of the world that the fantastical aspects of it would not stick.

To me, religion just comes across as a fear of being insignificant, having no meaning to a life, or a fear of the nothingness after death. Organised religion are cults. I cannot see how an educated, scientific world can be so closely intertwined with myth.
