As an adult convert to Xty, I would qualify that; I was raised to be Republican, and many of my Xtn friends have had similar experiences. Now I'm a theological pacifist flirting with communalist economics (but without the courage to get together with people to try it). An account of religious "brainwashing" really ought to consider the converts' experience.
