I have learned things, and I guess they make it easier in some ways to understand how and why people can be wrong. I have definitely learned a lot of useful things, but I don’t find that ‘being annoyed by religious people’ is a useful thing to have learned.
Which is why I was pointing out that “being annoyed by religious people” is a side-effect of the learning, not a behavior that you purposely adopted. I’ve had similar struggles myself.
There are probably other social groups that dovetail your goals as well or better than the church, but sad to say, that group meetup you attended is not one of them.
