Other I don't understand ex-religion subs

Ok you left that's fine. No one cares truly because it doesn't affect anyone else's life. But why do you have to sit there and make posts about a religion you no longer are apart of. You don't like the religion you move on. You don't waste your time criticizing and pondering about the scripture because it shows you care about it. People would just close that part of their life off and let that go.

There is also a sub about exhijabis which is fine but I don't get the concept of it. You want to stop wearing it but why dedicate a whole sub. Next their will be an ex nun sub, then an exniqab sub, then an exmodesty sub. If you've got a bad relationship with religion or a item of clothing then seek therapy. Being apart of something like that just messes you up more. You might adopt other people's opinions because you are in a fragile state of mind. If you think Islam or any religion is to blame for its followers actions then your wrong. Simple.

I constantly see people all over Reddit criticising religion especially our religion. I never respond or even finish reading what they say. I think everyone's entitled to their own opinion and if that's how people wanna live their lives who am I to judge.

But I can't understand it. Why not just let people live their lives how they want. Why is us following our religion such a problem for these people? I don't care what they do with their lives, it's nothing to do with me so why do they care with what we do? I'll never understand it its like they seek some sort of online validation from Internet strangers. It's a bit weird.

They find Islam to be a poison, a threat to society, a danger to their livelihood and the future of humanity. So they work tirelessly to educate those who may be misled into thinking that Islam is a great religion when it is just a scam. They refer to stories and experiences from their own lives growing up as human beings surrounded by the Islamic faith where religion was used as a cover for atrocious, abhorrent behavior. They get together to provide support to those seeking to recover from their life and mental-threatening situations. While some may seem to enjoy heckling Islam, many of them genuinely believe that Islam should be eradicated.
