Evelyn Harper- Growing Up

I was raised as a Catholic. I went to a private catholic school. It was intense and some of the teachers were mean but I lived through it. While going to St. Bridget School, religion was basically forced on us. We had religion class, prayed together everyday, and some days we went to church during school. Now that I am a little more educated in other religions I see how strict Catholicism is and it sways me away from the Church. So I wonder if I wasn't forced into going to church and blinded by the strong beliefs of the catholic church, would I still be this far from my faith?
