There is one here who has often suggested to those who express questioning/opposition to the very sort of things you mention, to "go talk to a priest".

Mileage can vary..?

[i can't resist asking again, in good humor]

Speaking of mileage, just how far did they throw you?

Not far. I walked away, under my own steam. There was no violence or escort to the gates.
I was left with the impression that I was not sufficiently pliable to be herded and my presence would be incompatible with the indoctrination of others into the cult.
