This is a problem for theology; no laboratory to differentiate competing ideas.
When the question is "Why did you leave your faith?" it seems the answer should be why you left your faith. If a book was part of the reason, fine. But what about your personal reasons. That's what I am trying to get to. Bel is just a parrot with little to no original thought.
I left Catholicism, because, I no longer believed it to be true. For me, it was a slow process; I would say that higher Biblical criticism was the major factor, as well as Professor Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion.
