You and me both!  I could never "get" the "wonderful"(?) promises, either. 
All I was able to observe - even as a child - were the limitations, 
divisiveness, exclusivity and bigotry (within Christianity's various 
subsets, and among the various other religions).

We were born with the respective physical defects of ... lacking any 
religious bones in our bodies!  (Another case of less is more, I daresay 
...)
