I've thought the same thing, I'm pretty sure the fervor and extremeness of the groups I was in and my own beliefs throughout my teens to early 30's had something to do with my ability to change. Casual or social evangelicals weren't a thing at least in the groups I was in.

This. As much as sometimes I wish I could choose what to believe based on what made me happier it isn't an option for me.
