Not all those who decide to leave one religion decide to give up religiosity entirely. Some choose to find a new religion or religious group to join.  If this is your case, regardless of the reason, this can be a good time for you to get some outside support to decide which elements of a new religion are a good match for your values, and which elements you might have a harder time with.

 

Examining the differences and the similarities between faiths can be empowering and can help you make informed decisions. This can be especially useful if you are about to marry or raise children with a person from a different religious background than yours— I can help you clarify which elements you consider negotiable and which elements you consider non-negotiable.
