If one can leave the word "religion" out of this... I quit conventional athiesm as we know it at the age of 11 because people kept blabbing on about the meaning of life.... and I decided I wanted to figure it out...
And by the age of 12 I had figured out that life had no meaning... so to speak.
My thoughts from there progressed to querying various other notions concerning the validity of existence... passing through the stage of realisation that nothing we could experience was definitely trustworthy.... and that all "knowledge" is merely assumption and could be entirely wrong..... and eventually hit the paradox point where I realised that existence itself didn't make sense.... that part of it self-contradicted....
I tested and re-tested that and kept coming to the same conclusion, despite "knowing" that any paradoxical conclusion was supposed to imply an error in the process. I couldn't find an error.... just the paradox...
And it was about there and then I accepted I had independantly become a Nihilist.
Of course then there is the other half.... the Taoist side of me.... but that came largely just from reading the Tao Te Ching, finding that it agreed very strongly with what I already believed in many respects.... and adopting it as a convenient extra "flavour" tag for my particular kind of Nihilism.

Catholic, Baptist, nondenominational and Judaism, I truly believe from the bottom of my heart there is a creator. But I left all of them for the same reason I truly believe that all of this has been bestowed upon us as the greatest premeditated lie.They were forced to believe with the Inquisition. Look at the history, rulers can make us believe anything. But with so many years of believing I can't completely disbelieve there was a creator.

I was conversant in 27 Religious Systems, and a New Age Speaker, before becoming a Christian, and the reason for trying so many, was simply that I kept coming to a point of total contradiction in each of them which could not be resolved within any of those systems.
Before giving myself to Christianity, I put it through pretty extensive tests, fully expecting Christianity to collapse under such testing (over several years). To my surprise, it stood up under the tests, and fitted together more and more under each subsequent testing, and when I explain the test procedures to others, they are amazed anything could withstand any such pressures, and yet Christianity continues to hold up under the most stringent criteria, completely unlike any of the other systems.

I left Christianity because I never felt comfortable. I went to many churches seeking peace of mind, body and soul however I never found there. I never found in the Bible. I found it through research of Wicca. But I am not a wiccan however I am a witch. I do follow the rules of a wiccan but I don't do the rituals or anything. I call myself an agnostic kitchen witch.

I left Christianity because I felt it didn't fit me and I couldn't live like that. I converted to wicca because I like the more nature oriented aspects and it causes me to have to study constantly. It has made me more open to other's opinions and ideas.

I left the Baptist church because it all seemed a little too far fetched for me. I asked questions and wasn't getting any answers. I was told that my questions didn't matter because whatever they told me was true, so I shouldn't worry about it. I guess I began to think for myself and wasn't satisfied with what I was being taught. I believe in a higher power, but do not attend church. I feel there are many ways to worship without sitting in a building and listening to someones opinion.

I left Mormonism )LDS-cthe church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints) because they keep their women barefoot and pregnat, I was abused, I became mentally ill, they brainwashed me, the religion is a cult, the list goes on. Wicca, I realized the magic wasn't in nature, it was coming from the very demons I was trying to rid from the house I lived in. Atheist, I realized there was a God.

I left the Catholic church 20 some years ago, I could not stand their intolerance towards, gays, other religions, other cultures, etc.. I found the whole religion to be somewhat hypocritical, i.e. love your neighbor as long has he/she thinks, acts and worships like me. I do believe in God and I still pray so I have faith, I just do not practice religion.

I left the catholic religion due to their false teachings, such as idol worship and much more. I renounced the catholic religion and am now a born again Christian. AMEN
