This was my upbringing as well. Religious trauma.

The fear of Hell shaped much of my early faith. It wasn’t about loving God or doing good. It was about avoiding punishment. In fact, when I became a “Christian” at the age of six, my only reason for making that choice was to avoid Hell, if I am honest. From then on, I lived in a state of perpetual anxiety: Was I saved enough? Did I believe hard enough? What if I doubted? What if I sinned?
