Likewise. I was brought up in an atheist household. For as long as I can remember I have bitterly hated the word 'god' because of its association with organised religion.
However having now found, and come into contact with, what I believe is god/the source/etc, and feeling that whilst it is undoubtedly there, although inherently not understandable to us in our present form, I realise that it is actually organised religion that I hate.
I love 'god', more than anything I have ever known.

Me too. Meditation gets me just as close at times though, as well as certain random life events when sober.

It doesn't have to be this way. It just takes putting in some serious effort struggling against the current that drags us to this perspective at times.
