The Former Denomination of Christian Deconverts

He means he thinks we've given up Christianity because we're liberal-minded, and couldn't tolerate the restrictive rules and regulations of more-conservative churches. Since we can't simply have come to the conclusion that the Christian religion is full of shit based on factual issues, he must hypothesize that we did it for emotional reasons. That allows him to slap a nice, comfortable label on us and dismiss us en masse.

If that were the case, I would have stayed and joined up with one of the grassroot movements, trying to reform the Catholic church from within. There are quite a few of those where I live and I do respect their work.

In fact, I am liberal minded. But I wasn't when I lost my faith. Looking at what was happening these last 25 years made me a moderate leftist.
