Religion killing curiosity?

This is my first post on the website, but I would love to have a discussion about this topic. I believe that religion is actually killing the curiosity of young people, me being one of them at some point in time. I was a follower of the christian faith for 5-6 years leading up till I was about 11 or 12. When I was following the religion, I had no feeling to learn new topics, or hear other view points about what others opinions for the most part. Now, I'm a atheist who tends to discuss with others on a weekly basis about the topic, and listen to all viewpoints to try to have a better understanding, and try to find answers. What I would like to hear is what everyone's opinion on the topic is. I stand by mine that religion is killing the curiosity of anybody participating in it, especially the younger age group.
