I am in your camp. I began life in a high demand religion, spent two years as a missionary and a decade in local congregation leadership positions.

When I saw how the community was treating marginalized people, because I got to know several, I looked in the mirror and realized I couldn't support it anymore. Leaving was hard, as the community would not allow you to leave with your dignity intact, but worth it.

I fluttered between different communities for a few months before realizing I was just solidly apatheist (deist or atheist, just don't really care one way or another) and an existentialist. We have fantastic opportunities at our disposal and they are what we make of them.
