For many people it is a horribly intimidating task to leave a religion, either for another or for the absence of one. Whatever the case may be this guide seeks to assist you in releasing yourself from your religion.
Steps
- Sever any ties you have with the religious organization. If necessary, leave them correspondence that communicates your separation, but do not discuss reasons or beliefs.
- Make friends outside of your former religion. Ask your new friends about alternative views.
- Carefully prepare a list of the advantages for leaving your religion and your reasons for doing so.
- Approach your family and friends tactfully about this topic as a devout family may not understand your choice.
- Read about your alternatives.
- Research the religion of your choice, and prepare the reasons that this change would be personally advantageous.
- Join a local group if you wish, and learn about their views and practices for conversion.
Tips
- If you think your family will be uncomfortable with your change, wait until you are older to make your views public.
- Know your stuff before you get into debates or discussions.
- Read and study the writings that are accepted by your chosen religion. Make sure the teachings are in line with the Bible
Warnings
