Why did you leave Christianity?

"I left because I realized I no longer believed Christianity’s core claims were true—and I wanted my life to align with what I honestly believe."

Why did you start an ex-Christian website?
"This website is here so others who are questioning know they’re not broken, sinful, or alone."

Why attack Christian beliefs?
"I’m not trying to tear anyone’s faith down, but I am trying to live mine out with intellectual honesty."
