I left Christianity because of supernatural experiences I had after I asked God to take complete control over my life. These experiences were nothing like what the Bible teaches. I did not find out till later they were tied directly to Wicca. Since I became a Wiccan I feel complete and confident. My trust in God has shot through the roof and many addictions that were holding me back were lifted.

I left Christianity (i.e. Roman Catholicism - RC) because my RC grandparents were murdered in 2002 by their own RC sons and daughters. Those animals were never arrested because they held influence with the RC church and the town officials where I lived in.
I embraced Islam in 2004 and never regretted my decision. I'm definitely happier now as a Muslim.
Peace.

When I was younger I left christianity and got involved in occult. Although because I had been brought up with it and not really understood or owned my own faith I had never really gotten it. I came back to christianity and I'm very thankful I did. This time I studied and looked into the teachings and really know why I believe. I have had amazing supernatural experiences as a christian and do not limit how God works. At the end of the day the bible teaches that there is only one way to God and that is through Jesus. This issue involves eternity and where you will spend it.

I left Christianity because it just didn't fit. I'm a very strong, independent, intelligent female and there didn't seem to be an awful lot of room in Christianity for someone like me. No disrespect intended, but it really, really did not fit me. I also believed in reincarnation, the divinity of nature, the idea that I absolutely had the right to use all means necessary to shape my destiny as long as I wasn't stepping on someone else, and the need for more than a "single parent" in religion. Eventally I found Wicca, as you did, and I've been much happier, more complete, calmer, and far more fulfilled ever since.
Bright blessings!

I still follow certain beliefs of Catholicism that I do believe in and I go to church on Sundays, but if I do convert I probably would become a Sikh. There are so many things there that I found I personally believe in. Of course I could always leave religion out completely and develop my personal spirituality. The problem with most religions is that there is very little room for individuality.

Left for Heckonism (widely unknown, more of a "way of life" than an actual belief) at the age of 16, because I found Christianity to have become nothing more than an excuse for killing people through out history and I could not see why it should be forced on to others, e.g. my family forced being Greek Orthodox onto me when I was a small child. As for the Bible, there are way to many inconsistancies for it to make any actual sense, so I generally just think of it as a well-written piece of fiction, rather than the Word of God.

I was raised Mormon. I left when I was 17 because of how Mormonism regarded women (no religious power, should only be a wife and mother and have no identity of her own). I drifted around in different religions for awhile and found myself in Fundamentalist Christianity. I tried that and found it to be so full of meanness, hatred, and cruelty that I couldn't stand it. The church I was in actually convinced my best friend that a demon inside him was what made him gay. My best friend began to honestly think he was possessed. The whole thing totally ruined him. I tried my damnedest to get him to see reason, but he would have none of it. He would rather embrace the hate and negativity of his church.
After that mess, I was through with Christianity. Completely. I drifted around for a little while more until I found Paganism, and I've been Pagan since. I feel my faith in my heart like I never felt it with Christianity.
I know that most Christians would say that one bad experience with a Christian church shouldn't put me off of Christianity as a whole, but I don't think they quite understand. Christianity is somehow tainted. It may have started as a pure faith, as pure love, acceptance, and tolerance, but it has evolved into something monstrous. Think of it--men, women, and children have been tortured and murdered in the name of God. No religion can be exposed to that much darkness and come out intact. That is part of the reason why I choose to not be Christian. Whatever Christianity started out as, it's not anything like that anymore.

I left Christianity and became a Deist. I found it on my own, I did not know that Deism existed or had a name (actually, I think I had heard of it in history class, but didn't pay much attention to it at the time). I am quite happy in it, it is a very logical religion, very tolerant, and is based on reason and not blindly believing what someone says.

I left Christianity cuz it didn't make sense,, the Idea of 3 in1 & the idea of Jesus punished himself-if he's really God- just to save us .. he could've forgave us & didn't bother himself..
I found the true & best beliefe in Islam I'm now happier & have much inner peace "don't believe what the media say about Islam it's also said about americans who killed thousands in Iraq & Afganestan & about Israeilies who kill hundres of children per say in palestine"
When I read the qur'an & asked God to giud me& he did. I had a wonderful feeling I wish u try it

I'm glad you found where you belong and feel the best; I left Christianity to completely leave organized religion (not that I can't take some good concepts here and there); and I left because of some personal research and being in search of the truth

I left Christianity "officially" only recently, after "dabbling" in Wicca for 2 decades. Since admitting to myself that I haven't believed the Christian dogma and doctrines for many years, I feel so much more... enlightened!

I am a Christian,but my friend said something that helped me understand her alot better the other day.
"There are just too many stories,and I didn't know which one to believe."
Now she doesn't believe in any of those "stories".Shes made up her mind to go down her own odd,funky path.
