Today was the last day I ever step foot in a church

When me and my brother lived with my mom she always had us go to church. Well me. Once my brother was doing drugs she stopped caring about anything he did. Now that I live with my dad and blocked my mom on everything it's my voice now to go to church. The Youth group meets on Thursday. My brother has finally been discharged from the hospital and he's living with his dad and from what I know his dad is trying. At church I talked to some of the youth leaders and pastor about my brother. Anyone who doesn't know, my brother was gone for 11 days and my mom didn't notice or care and he was out doing drugs with grown men when he's 14 and OD'd and they left him outside the hospital. He even flat lined at one point and my mom didn't even care. He also had signs of sexual assault. They told me my brother needs to ask for forgiveness and give up being gay because him living in sin lead to that. Drugs I can see but him being gay isn't why he ended up in a bad situation. Our mom is trash and he was around bad people. And they felt the need to say if my brother keeps not knowing God and being gay then he will go to hell and if those men that did that to him turn to a life if Christ than they would get in heaven. I said that's messed up and they told me it's in the Bible. Today was the day I walked away from religion. I just walked out because how I feel any Gof who would send someone to hell for something that is harmless but put people like those men in heaven just for following him isn't a God I want to worship. I started questioning everything my mom has tried to ram down my throat for 16 years and I've decided I'm an atheist. I don't care about church or God or religion. I just want to finish high school and make sure my little brother is ok. That's all I care about now
