Weird. A lot of the reasons you give for autistics rejecting religion are the same as mine. Yet, in so far as I know, I'm not autistic. I just have an analytic, logical turn of mind. But I'm also a story-maker, and the narratives of Christianity were, to me, unsatisfactory, lacking internal coherence.

Even as a child, raised in a non-religious household but nevertheless made to attend Sunday School, I saw how the whole thing fell apart under rigorous analysis and how the narrative, taken as a whole, was fractured and occasionally self-contradictory.
