Question for everyone: Has anybody ever used religion to lie to you?

I don't mean to offend anybodies religion at all. I'm actually very interested in religion and theology and I think that religion has some great morals. I just don't like those who put people down because they don't believe a specific thing.

One time I was on a Confirmation retreat and a man was talking to us about abortion. I asked him, "What if a 12-year-old girl is raped by her abusive father?" and he responded by saying that a certain amount of pleasure is necessary for the woman to concieve, and obviously rape wouldn't bring about this pleasure. The scary thing is, I believed him for a few months.

And atheists, please don't answer by saying something like, "Religion is a lie," or something about fairies and Santa Clause. It's rude, just like it's rude when Christians tell us we're going to burn in hell.

I will only give Thumbs-Down to the answers that are rude/disrespectful. I don't TD anybody because of what they believe.
The Truth: I'm an atheist.
