What were you told about other religions when you were a child?
Maybe some old wives' tales?
I went to catholic school. There were no other religions. Now that I've grown up into my brain, I don't believe in a god/s, at all. Not even Zeus.

Don't be hating on Zeus. The man makes lightning.
I don't see that one would find the answers in a bong.
Yep, Saturday was the best part of being a Catholic kid!When I grew up, there was one religion. You got it in assembly at "secular" school. We had a Christmas play, and I even won Bible prizes, though I never went to Sunday school or church. Except of course for the outings and parties and later, discos in the halls of the various denominations.
There were also Catholics, an "inferior" religion, whose practitioners lived parallel lives to us in the same community. Some even went to our schools, where they were excused the RE study period. I also envied my Catholic pal's ability to get his sin slate wiped clean every week as I waited outside the chapel for him. I assumed I would meet some bean-counting angel with a very long list when I died.
Other more "exotic" religions were never really discussed per se, though they were mentioned in passing in history or geography classes as something foreigners believed.
It's amazing how none of it stuck really, I grew up in an area stuffed with churches, half a mile from Holy Corner!

I was raised hardcore Catholic:What were you told about other religions when you were a child?

That white American Christians were evil murderous people and that they all should be killed.
I was never told anything, but my mother was told "not to play with the Catholic kids", and my MIL was told "not to play with the Protestant kids". (both are older Boomers)
Especially not Zeus.
How about Dionysus?
You misspelled Daenerys. And she threw dragon fire.
You got the wrong pantheon
