When I think about the experience of mind control by means of religious ideology, particularly how so many teachings are used to invoke fear and guilt, I can understand why some people would walk away from formal religious belief and say they want nothing to do with it.
For many survivors, religion is a major trigger of traumatic memory and emotion. That's one reason I read the exer websites--because certain types of religious expression trigger me big time. I try to become more aware of the guilt and fear I feel when reading these posts. It's a way of desensitizing myself to the trigger. Problem is, I haven't always understood the complexity of triggers that affect other people who post on the exer sites.
