I converted to Christianity about two years ago and I am not very convinced, not only with this religion but any religion now. Somehow now every religion seems man-made to me and that there's nothing Godly about it. I was of another religion, then I legally converted to this, but now I don't want it. Is it possible to get out of it legally?

Being legally bound in it, I feel I'm chained to it, like I am doing some disservice by not following it.

You can legally convert to any religion you want but you cant convert to no-religion(in the eyes of the law). I would say that if you have lost faith in christianity and all religions then just remain a "christian" and believe (or dont believe) what you want. I would be very careful ebfore you officially convert to any other faith. Some faiths believe that once you have converted to that faith you will always be that faith. Continue your search and you will find what is right for you.

You must be very independant minded if in two years you could see through the gloss of Christianity. It's all Gloss and very little material.
Probably you converted to Christianity out of your love for Christ. You can always pray to Christ - irrespective of whether you are a Christian or not.
One or two religions preach that they are the ONLY truth - and breed fanaticism because their clergy is too strong. Right from birth they are brainwashed to follow. And they become so confused that they follow the clergy and whatever they have to say - even if that takes them far away from God. They follow a certain version of an archaic book as if it were better than the god-gifted ability to see, think and understand.
Try Hinduism / Buddhism / Bah-ai ... or even Atheism. They will not stifle you or dictate to you - but rather encourage you to find the truth by yourself.
And I could not understand the legality bit. What has legality got to do with it. Follow your heart. Your days on this planet are numbered and finite !!

A particular religion may be Or may not be Godly, As u think, Basically its not about it , Religion is Tradition & Values which you Inharits from your parents where U respect other religions too. U should have respect to other religion , But converting to other religion is just a Stupid things people do, No Offence but U have done it,
So Religion is your personnal thing. Legally converting to any religion won't help U. As Legally doing anything means Your are making it for Socially.
Lastly Religion is what You inherited from your Parents.

Why would u want you, I left Organised religion a long time ago and im happy being my agnostic self. You seem to be looking for something in religion and i dont think you are going to find it by converting again.

There is no "religion" on this planet that is not man-made. Jesus Christ went into a temple, overthrew the money changers, made a whip, and used it on his people because his people were so stinkin' religious. Jesus loves the human soul of every human on the planet, but he hates all religions. "Religion" is the search of mankind for God, but once you accept Jesus, God is present, and religion disappears. Every human on the planet is religious in one form or another, until they realize that Jesus is real, just as you and I, then the "religion" becomes secular. A true follower of Jesus Christ is not religious anymore because they have found reality.

It is left to the individual to decide. But you haven't realized the common thread amongst these man-made religions, namely, all beleive in a supreme being and their tenets are do good and no evil.
Now you can jump where ever you wish. Good luck !!!!!

You can't convert "out" of Judaism. I left Christianity as a young adult, remained agnostic for many years, and converted to Judaism much later in life.

You can come and go as you please as many times as possible before you die. It's only the last one you believe in that matters. Since you don't know when your last breath is, please choose wisely.
I hope you're not using Yahoo Answers to get your Christian theology from.....there are a lot of un-Christian comments thrown on here from Christians with good intents, just misguided passion. A lot of misguided atheists too.

Whatever makes you happy, honey. You can do that as many times as you want. If you're really sure about making it official, then you should probably talk to the office where you registered/converted.
