Former religious lemmings, what made you quit religion or stop being a believer?
Here's a couple silly reasons why:
-
I kept asking for supernatural things to happen, or to win something like a small school lottery. The fact nothing happened, let alone a clear punishment, did disappoint me.
-
When I discovered that Santa was fake was when my faith started to really crumble.
-
Sometimes listening to the Pastors speak gives me a nice sensation on the back of my neck. I later discovered ASMR. I sometimes still listen to old religious people speak, but I'm not actually paying attention.
Here's the real reasons why:
-
Finding too many things I disagreed with or did not understand from the text.
-
Having a religious preacher fail to explain them to me.
-
Discovering other religions exist.
-
Learning what a cult is and making 1:1 comparisons to most religious entities.
-
Discovering how shitty the real world is.
-
Science (like, all of it)
-
History (also, all of it)
-
Discovering philosophy
