Exposed to what? Religion, perhaps? I remember going to
catechism classes every Saturday for three hours for three
years and I believed everything that was taught. A couple of
years later, I believed none of it. Except some of the ethical
concepts in the New Testament that advised loving one's neighbor.
That still made good sense to me. I found the concept of sinners
burning in hell forever did not provide me with a placid and
peaceful and enjoyable existence. Especially when the sinners
were identified as religous sects other than the one I was
raised in. That took in a lot of my loved friends and even
close relatives.

The more educated one becomes, the less they need "sky faries" to
understand the real world

Yep..sitting on those hard wooden benchs as a kid in "sunday clothes"
listening to some old dude ramble on about religious nonsense when I'd
much rather been doing something "interesting" Ken
