"For the following three reasons I lay out and explore below, leaving one’s faith or religion is fraught with potential peril and difficulties.
1. The trauma caused by deconstructing, and finally making the difficult decision to leave your former faith behind, can be traumatic and psychologically debilitating. Psychologist and author Dr Marlene Winell is an expert on religious trauma syndrome (RTS)...

"8.) Justification for inequality.
A simple and honest study of our world’s theocracies (and countries such as America where those issues are being debated) reveals how our holy texts are used to discriminate against women, LGBTs, and foreigners. Our top three world religions’ texts are full of discrimination against these groups. In fact, it is openly used as justification for that discrimination...

episode 74: My Agnostic theism (also called my "religious agnosticism") is the view of myself who does not claim to know the existence of God or gods, but I still believe in the existence of such a being.
"5. The Jesus way has got me to see that we cannot cast off responsibility for the plights and problems of "other people."
I was reminded of the Jesus ethic recently when I popped into a Mexican restaurant and was stopped in my tracks by an arresting poster near the door. It was a sketch of a Middle Eastern-looking man with a baby tucked in his coat. "Refugees," the poster bade, "are welcome here. Stop profiling Muslims...
