Welcome!

Leaving religion can be one of the most difficult and painful journeys a person takes. When you have been raised or immersed in a religious mind-set and 'eco-system' (church, family, friends, work), taking the first steps away can feel incredibly lonely, frustrating and even threatening.

This is why LeavingReligion.org was created.

We are 'fellow-travellers' on this journey toward a life that is free from religion.  We have experienced for ourselves what it is like to be raised within and to embrace religious faith - and yet to go through the arduous and complex process of leaving it behind. So we wanted to offer some support, affirmation and encouragement to people who are also, at long last, ‘daring to live’. 

We hope this site is useful to you in some way.
