Losing Our Religion

This is a very honest and insightful look at some of the many men and women in the clergy that, for various reasons, completely lost their faith and belief in God, and the effects that coming out as atheists has had on their lives. The film does not concern itself with bashing Christianity (except for some of the former clergy explaining some of the very unchristian behavior directed at them by those Christians who formerly associated with them) but rather attempts to give the viewer an inside look at what it is like to step away from something that was once the central core of their lives and live a secular life instead. The film is at times heartbreaking, but ultimately hopeful, showing that obtaining happiness and a sense of real purpose can be achieved without the need for supernatural trappings. A truly fair, balanced look at a very sensitive subject!

I watched with sadness this documentary. It broke my heart that these people have given up on God simply because things didn't go as THEY planned them. That's not the way Christianity works, we follow God's plan. Life isn't always rosy, but He gives us strength, courage and trust to continue on.

I found myself praying for various individuals throughout this video.

My heart tells me Brendon's wife is not happy where she is with her faith. She wants to come back, but can't figure out how without hurting her husband. Come back, perhaps he'll follow. You owe it to your children. Don't drag them down with you. You know what penalty non-believers pay. Do you really want that for your kids? Please don't think "They're young, they can decide later". Only God, yours and mine, know a person's time on earth.

Come home.
