Deep dives
The importance of finding a supportive community after leaving Christianity
When leaving a religion like evangelical, Pentecostal, or fundamentalist Christianity, it's essential to find a loving and supportive community to help heal the wounds caused by that experience. In addition to exploring paganism, secularism, atheism, or other faiths, resources like Unitarian Universalism can provide a sense of community and support. Online platforms such as the expangelical and religious trauma hashtags can also offer valuable insights and connections for individuals transitioning away from Christianity. Books like 'Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit,' 'Godless Morality' by Richard Holloway, and upcoming books by Joe Lumen and Jillian Jenkinson offer valuable perspectives for those on this journey.
