I don't remember what religion you were before,but I think,atleast as a eastern Orthodox,that you saw or believed in others without doing ur own research,it may take time sure,but whenever something new comes,you kinda have to examine all sides,and even the groups within,I'm my university,as a EO we had to study Patristics,that is the theology/life of the early church Fathers,and to know the difference between canons,theologumenons,and Dogmas,that is,what is binding forever,what is suitable and changeable for a era,and what is a popular opinion held by Theologians but isn't a canon,with this you'd meet many many different and contrasting opinions,like garden of Eden,spiritual or not? the 6 day creation,allegorical or real? these were heated debates which the church never formally settled,and probably never would,and I know Islam has similar but lesser things,y'all had big philosophers with many ideas,now I don't remember how many groups inside Islam are,and I know Islam is alot more dogmatic, especially compared to EO,so maybe try again? maybe ur viewing religion from a Athiestic standpoint,same way you were viewing atheism from a Religious standpoint
