To expand on this. It usually just looks like they've had the time to learn.
I also was raised conservative, my mentally ill stepfather was seduced by a borderline cult of a church, so I was in deep deep.
It takes so much out of you. Being that religious is literally exhausting and takes up all the available time people would have otherwise had to learn. I'm talking church three times a week, plus home church meetings, all full of propaganda about how demons lurk behind every corner and the only people you can trust are the people running the church. They've got it intentionally set up so that you are drowning in fear, and the only lifelines you trust are pure fantasy.
It's insidious.
