That’s the question asked by Greta Christina. It’s a good one. And while I’m sure that many of us were driven out by the abuse or hate or violation of our trust, it’s often very much simpler than that. As Greta says:
It’s not because I was abused or my trust was violated. It’s not because I was wounded or stunted by my religious upbringing (I didn’t have one). It’s not because so much traditional religion is so hateful and damaging to queers.It’s because I don’t believe in God.
Period.
Amen.
