Atheists & Agnostics

It may not be the most articulate, but its a roundabout way of saying that IF close family can use religion to justify their bad behaviour towards her, then she sees no value in that religion.

She just didn't express it clearly. I see no reason to criticize her journey to what she now believes, or doesn't.

I left for similar reasons. I witnessed all the hypocrisy in my extended evangelical family. Even today, many are die hard Trumpists and spread Fox News stories on FB. They are so blinded by hatred and paranoia they can't even see how much that kind of selfish, arrogant attitude was the antithesis of the kind of spirit that they are supposed to be emulating.
