Congratulations on the ability to overcome early indoctrination.
However, I noticed that many (not all) fundamentalist Christians are trained to think 'black/white/' , yes/no and very binary God/no God. .. Don't forget all those magnificent shades of grey that are between (and the magnificent colors) ... speaking metaphorically of course.
The ability to come at a problem in a number of different angles will be invaluable for going into theoretical physics. Don't get stuck in the binary thinking...
