This reflects my experience growing up with a religion really accurately. What really kills you in the end, is that you took it seriously, when you come out of it you realize no one else was.
I think many people take religion seriously. They wouldn't spend so much time and money on it if they didn't. But religion doesn't change their values. Rather, their values shape what aspects of the religion they care about.
