The deconvert's path

You left a Christian background. You found the version you were given unsupportable. The site is for you, with no defensiveness.

Most deconversion triggers are intellectual, moral, or social. The site's strongest answer is to category one (intellectual). It argues that the Christianity you left was not the only version, and that mainstream scholarship supports more of the case than popular skepticism implies.

  1. 01

    Three positions, all considered orthodox by significant historical streams.

  5. 05

    Note
