Religion has very strong manipulative programs, so a person who grew up in a "devout" Christian family can be considered a true hero who resisted manipulation and psychological intimidation and terrorization by family members, Christian relatives, and acquaintances. Such heroes need to be given great psychological support, and they are people who deserve some form of social recognition and admiration.
A certain Peruvian shaman very sharply criticizes religion and considers it a system that divides people. And how religion divides people is mainly seen when someone from the Christian faith falls away from the faith. Huge tensions, strains, and unrest arise in the family if someone from a Christian family decides to convert from Christianity to something else.
Orthodox Christians have only a weak sense of religious freedom. They do not want to accept the fact and do not want to reconcile themselves to the fact that someone from their religious community has already given up on their religious crap and will no longer believe in it. I have noticed that religious believers seem unable to understand, do not understand, and cannot understand what has actually happened. They simply do not know how it is possible that someone who has been indoctrinated with religious crap for years since childhood suddenly rejects it now.
For a religious environment, being fanatical about religion is something completely natural, normal, and natural. If someone falls away, they perceive it only as a temporary state, that the person has only temporarily deviated and deviated from the norm and will certainly return to our religious "norm" and "normality". Religious people naively believe that the person will certainly return to religion.
From the perspective of "orthodox" Christians, falling away from the faith is madness.
