what are the causes or reasons why sometime we want to depart from our mother religion?

Question

explain extensively

Answer 1

People do not always find the answers they are looking for in their mother religions. Some people do not like the formalities and rituals of their religion. Some people are just plain embarrassed to be seen as a follower of a certain religion.

Personally, I do not think that any religious scripture is at fault. It is in interpreting scripture that all the debate and misunderstanding creeps in.

I think we should study other religions extensively, but to leave one's own religion for another would be redundant since all religions are basically saying the same thing.

We need to look beyond authoritarian and egoistic dogma, and understand the true meaning of our scriptures. It is unfortunate that most scripture is interpreted literally when most of the time there is deep symbolic meaning.

We will find that the meaning of all religions can easily be reconciled with one another and can be reconciled even with science in its present form (though science has a long way to go before it rediscovers spiritual laws explained already in religious scriptures).

In such a state of intellectual and spiritual harmony, there really is no need to depart from our own religion.

Answer 2

1. Alternative lifestyles (Homosexuals, pimps and hoes, athiest...etc)
2. Friends might not be our religion and sometimes we want to be like them
3. People mayb look like they have fun with their own version of religion and we dunp ours for theirs so we can have fun.
4. Dissapointment from asking our religios figure for something we need or want done and we do not recieve it
5. Some people think people that religion keeps them and bondage and makes them ignorant to other people that are considered wrong in the eyes of the religious figure.
6. Sometimes we go becuse we find out our religion is a shame and we seek for a true religion.
7. Failures in life

Answer 3

When we were born, we have no religion or know anything about this guy called god. We were only keen on mother's milk. Somehow we have been led or misled into her religion. By the time we're grown and our minds matured, we may choose to stick with it or leave it.
Either way we choose, we must never forget our mother.....some people after leaving their mothers' religion curse their mothers to hell when they aren't following.

Answer 4

I think the primary reason is that we realize that God is a authority over us, constantly watching and judging. It is no coincidence that many unbelievers departed from religion when they were around their teen; at the same time they were trying to gain independence from their parents.

As children, we accept the authority of our parents and of God and are powerfully attracted to the love of God. As young adults, we reject the authority of our parents and of God and are powerfully repelled by the authority of God.

Answer 5

-we are attracted by other religions and we are also appealed by their beliefs and we also have similar beliefs in a way

-some parents are too religious that they enforce the child to follow their religion's way and the child somehow doesn't like it (i know it doesn't seem like a good cause but my friend is like that)

-we grew up in an environment where other religions are dominant and change us

Answer 6

Catholicism is the mother of harlots as stated in the bible any religion that has sprung from the catholics is wrong.

Answer 7

We start to question what we have been told and realise what we have been told doesn't make a lot of sense.
