These mothers bid farewell to Christianity for good.
Religion has often created more strife in the world than it has resolved, and Christianity has been a significant contributor (cough colonization cough). While the feeling of belonging to a church community can be comforting, it becomes problematic when that community excludes marginalized groups and primarily serves to uphold patriarchal values. As a result, these mothers have chosen to step away from the faith, and ex-Christians are now sharing their stories in our confessional.
Some may have left Christianity after realizing that the Bible shouldn’t be the foundation for American laws and principles. Others could have grown disillusioned by the fact that women are barred from leadership roles in their churches. Or perhaps they are frustrated because those who preach against the LGBTQ community are living lives filled with contradictions. Whatever the reason, know that you are not alone. Enjoy these candid confessions from mothers who are sharing their journeys away from Christianity.
