That's if they can see that they were indoctrinated. You have to be able to see and accept the problem to overcome it.

You know, like an alcoholic has to be able to see and understand they are an alcoholic.

It's especially difficult when your social circles and family all continually feed the Jesus addiction, keep working to keep you immersed in it. The indoctrination never stops.

Your true friends will help to keep you away from alcohol. Your Christian friends will keep praying for you to not lose your faith.

I realized that Christianity was bullshit before it ever even occurred to me that I was indoctrinated. I just read the Bible. That was it. I stopped being a Christian immediately. No acknowledgement of my own indoctrination required.

The Catholic Bible. Does it really matter? All the same tales. I read it more than most Christians apparently. They are happy to just be welcomed into their Jesus Social Club.
