I did not logic myself into having faith that christianity is true but I did logic myself out of it.

The thing is that there have to be an incentive to receive and accept that logic. Something beyond logic.
You can’t use logic for someone who is completely emotionally invested in a cause. They need to somehow be open to contradiction, which most cultists certainly aren’t.
So in that respect it could be said that you didn’t logic yourself out of it, because you had already accepted contradiction to your beliefs before you started using logic.
