Many leave not because of the actions of others but due to the inconsistency with the rational mind and known reality.
Islam isn't just wrong morally but false and this is the main cause for ex-muslims.
I'd like your insight on this journey and its many meanings.
Faith is about your connection to the words and ideals of a belief.
As we continue to grow up, a lot of things begin to inspire an appreciation for faith in general.
Things like family values and community.
A sense of camaraderie.
Even personal views on certain things, like work, sex, how to treat neighbours, etc.
Many people don't really care about what is true in the objective sense, but what is true enough when it comes to their quality of life.
And when I looked at it that way, can I really blame them? If you're gonna die anyway, what purpose does truth serve to those who don't naturally desire it, you know?
Everyone has their own journey. Mine is due to curiosity. I want to know why people embrace what they embrace and what it gave them. I want to know the good of it all and how it can improve my quality of life as well. Faith and ideologies are very pragmatic in the sense that it's generally about the wise words of men/women who've lived their full lives and became enlightened to certain truths that pertain to ones life. That's what I mean by the journey.
