anxiety over religion

...See more i was born and raised in a christian household, but it wasn't until i was in highschool that i started to have my doubts and questions about my religion. i've tried to ignore it for years but it felt like all it would do was grow and grow. i felt like i couldn't talk to anyone in my family about it bc they would feel as if i was "of the world" or "letting the devil confuse me" and i just dealt with the anxiety by myself. it got to the point where even something as simple as someone saying "God bless you" sent anxiety through me. i decided to finally tell my mom how i felt, and i got the exact reply that i had been dreading. it felt like she had just brushed off my feelings and when I tried to explain that to her she told me that it was my "stubbornness" that made me feel that way. i felt like no one could understand me if my own mother couldn't understand me. and i just want this feeling of anxiety around this to just go away. i wanna know has anyone else found peace around religion or if they've had anxiety around this as well. thanks for listening
