About This Quote

When religious people leave their religion and have to invent their own values system, they feel a great deal of personal loss. This is because they have been taught to believe in things that are not true. They have been taught that their faith is the ultimate truth and that there is no other truth. When they realize this and can no longer believe in their faith like they did before, they feel like the world has turned upside down and they must create a new set of values for themselves. The process of reinventing their lives after leaving their religion is a big deal and it takes great personal courage to do so.
