I once got kicked out of Sunday school for explaining everything after the big bang as our best scientific estimates tell us, at least from an astronomical, geological, and biological point of view.

EDITORS NOTE: I kind of went on a rambling rant-anecdote here. Feel free to skip.

Like how stars form, galaxies, how supernovae made everything possible, how a planet forms, how biology can be kick started from non living things over a super long stretch of time (possibly many times over with few or one actually making it to even single celled organisms) and how evolution does NOT say we came from monkeys any more than I say you came from your cousin (your mileage may vary in Alabama and Georgia(both))

The Sunday school person let me continue until I finished and then she laughed and said "isn't that funny everyone?" and all the kids laughed at me.

Jokes on her, her 3 children are all PHDs who don't talk to their parents anymore after "embracing a life of sin". Which I count as a win for her children.

My mother had to come get me and I wasn't allowed to return for a few weeks because some kids went and told their parents who got all butt hurt.

While my parents were way more religious then (still are, just not as much) they never once tried to punish me, tell me I was wrong, or even told me not to say things like that in church. And they weren't shy about telling me when I was wrong or being a little shit.
