Does anyone else think that very fundamentalist religion can play a part in someones social development when they are younger? I didn't grow up in a cult, but it was close (had to dress uniformly, couldn't socialize with the opposite gender unsupervised, paid barely enough to eat and get clothes and even a lot of that was supposed to be spent at the on "campus" store, housing was provided, living on a compound and not allowed to have friends from the outside, attended an on campus elementary school, not allowed to play sports or watch TV.) I'm not debating whether religion is good or not, but does that sound a little extreme to you or has anyone had a similar experience? I don't think it would cause SA but it definately didn't help since I was too afraid to go to a theatre until I was 20 y/o because I thought demons would get me or socialize with people since they were from the evil "world."
