Strong agree, big part of why I'm not involved with any theist _anything_ anymore, it was a unique experience and my parents were unique people, some of the few people I've met who really valued systematic thinking, arguing from first principles and were raised in a very plural cultural environment. Not many 5-15 year olds get age appropriate training in cultural bias and taught to see that so much people tie to their personal or cultural identity is just recent memetic trend. The feedback loop of regular and default critical analysis really prepared all of us children for the internet age, a mental firewall inculcated at a young age to analyze instructed belief and media literacy is not a common experience, I did started appreciating it during highschool. They were also strongly anti shame and strangely were against both non-conformity and conformity. We all ended up being very different people, and different in almost every way from them with but we share their agreeableness, openness to new experience, and tend to the analytical.
