I had a similar experience in middle school when my parents signed me up for CCD (after school program to get you ready for Catholic confirmation). I considered myself a Christian until then and was looking forward to the program....until my non-combative questions about applying Jesus' teachings to the real world were dismissed and I saw the cult mentality I had fallen for.

Weirdly enough, the final nail in the ~~wrist~~ coffin was when I asked my teacher how he knew that What Dreams May Come was not an accurate representation of pergatory and he said "it just isn't."
