"Why did you leave Islam?"

This, or it's many forms, is still the most common question we get asked as ExMuslims. With the subreddit growing dynamically over the years we've had various influx of people some of whom might not have heard of people leaving Islam before or are just curious.

Megaposts like this are an opportunity for people to tell their story. It's a great chance for the lurkers to come out and at least register yourself. If you've already written about your apostasy elsewhere then this is a great place to rehash that story.

Write about your journey in leaving Islam, tales of de-conversion etc.... This post will be linked on the sidebar (Old reddit: Orange button), top Menu(New Reddit: under Resources) and under "Menu" in the App version.

Please try to be as thorough and concise as possible and only give information that will be safe to give. Safety of everyone must be paramount.

Things of interest would be your background (e.g. age, location(general), ethnicity, sect, family religiosity, immigrant or child of immigrant), childhood, realisation about religion, relationship with family, your current financial situation, what you're mainly up to in life, your aims/goals in life, your current stance with religion e.g. Christian, Atheist etc...(non-exhaustive list) etc etc...

This is a serious post so please try to keep things on point. There's a time and place for everything. This is a Meta post so Jokes and irrelevant comments will be removed and further action may also be taken including bans.
