Left at age 45 [couldn't reconcile my being gay with "The Truth", within a few months of deciding to leave, I discovered that it wasn't the truth.
Baptized at 22 [started seriously studying at age 18 with my very active uncle, felt inwardly condemned and not worthy of "The Truth" knowing that I was homosexual]
Brought up around it by an inactive mother
