Leaving Religion: The Psychology of Religion
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
- Religion psychologically designed to keep you faithful to it. It makes everyone a family and demonizes any knowledge other than the Bible. You can walk away from religion and be free for real.
I left religion at 35. After 10 years being christian. But, comming from europe, my family was relieved when I left that crap lol.
Pastor's daughter coming from the Apostolic faith. I always knew in my heart something was wrong but didn't have the resources to find out why. After 10yrs of Christian school and decades of 3-4xs weekly services, revivals, VBS, after school bible club, I finally got brave enough to research bible origins and was equally as devastated as I was relieved. It's only been 2-3 yrs now since I've rejected Christianity. I still struggle to really be free of all doubt after all that indoctrination, but I stand on the truth. The relief of knowing that no one's going to hell is liberation. Thank you for your videos and sharing the truth. My daughters will never be brainwashed like I was and it can only get better with the rising generations. I'm 35 btw.
I love your testimony
Only a minority escape the deep rooted childhood indoctrination into religion. Consider yourself lucky in this case lol. That is why we have 4 billion Christians and Muslims, that alone is around half the world.
In my early 40s. Not going back to church. Always felt something was off about religion. Great video. I am now becoming conscious. Thank you!
Hello William,
Just stumble upon your site and I’m listening to hear your perspective. At 1401 you just mentioned when you left the church. Fascinating it hit me at 38. I’am now 66. I’ve never looked back nor have I ever regretted the decision. In fact, I became far more Healthier, saner, and prosperous by doing so. I hope many will find your site who are at that waking up stage to get on with real living and taking responsibility for their own actions. I need no one to tell how to treat others. I respect life. That includes all life! Animals, trees, plants, and even water with the most highest respect and have a profound experience in life with life.
Kudos to you for stepping forth.
Thank you and sorry for the late reply.
I turned 50 in January of 2017 and stopped going church- just walked out. I just couldn't do it no more. The church I was attending, the pastor's mother and sister were murdered by the brother. This man must have been doubting God I'm sure.. but this was his lively hood. He just kept on preaching the love of Jesus and the evil of Satan. That being said, I've been critically analyzing my beliefs since around 2008. I'm done. The atheists/science community does a good job of explaining things.
L R Congratulations on being free. You made it.
Although he served good,the man who murdered him still had free I'll and possibly mental illness. That doesn't make God wrong.
@@AmaLoveGoddessTV That makes god impotent and incompetent. The classic trilemma has been discussed in human discourse for centuries, yet many of today's theists haven't even considered it. When you're indoctrinated into religion, its hard to question anything..much less leave the cult.
You are right about talking to family..They just get pissed and attack you..
Shirley Redmond Yes they do. They think you are demon possessed and crazy.
I almost got kicked out the crib for saying I don't believe in Jesus or Christianity anymore 😩💀😂
I haven't told my family. They won't accept me. I just live my life knowing I dont have to stress about religion.
I’m 22 and I started waking up at 21. Still unlearning things but I always questioned things. I love your videos, I would love to meet you and just speak to you/ listen. I enjoy when people like you enlighten me on things! Thank you ❤️
I gave up on Christianity, which does not exist, in 2010, and in 2011, I stopped participating in the Sunday morning drama at entertainment central. The truth set me free.
William, thank you. Your intelligence has pulled you out of the hoax. Your rough draft is perfect. I struggle to think why others can't see through it. Once you do, you can't go back.
I just say that i graduated from christianity on to a higher level.I do not want to believe, i want to know! Around age 44 i stop subscribing to any organized religion, and now at age 50 i feel free......
I'm 39. I left Mormonism in 2010 I was a convert. Too much stuff happened to me, and I don't want to get into it here. I realize I don't have to look for anything else. Took me 9 years to finally figure that out.
P4ttptpw. .
Thank you William you are speaking what I wish I could speak I wish I had the nerves to do what you do I think it's very positive and I enjoy listening to your truth you keep doing what you do brother
Thank u for sharing your experiences and knowledge about religion. I have wasted far too much of my life and time on religion and I am now 45. I have finally walked away from the mind control that religion had on me and I am now living the life I’ve always wanted.
Awesome!.. So glad I came across your Channel!..This information is so timely and needed at this time.. I am a (fading) JW and you just hit the nail on the head!!
I just stubbed and getting ready to binge on the rest of your videos!! Thank you for adding your voice! 💯❤
I like the way you articulate yourself my brother...so simple and so clear..Great Job!
I'm 22 and have been free for about a year now. You'd be happy to know I know many other friends my age (white/black/poc) who were raised Christian/Catholic and who have decided to leave. My generation is not with it at all.
I try to tell older people that young people are not being fooled by the myths. It's a different time.
@Andrae X yeah very true. interestingly enough with the conversations i've had it always comes down to fear in defense of keeping their beliefs. even my grandma who is incredibly devout
I’m in my late 50s and I must say between your videos, Kevin Westley, King Cali and the coach Renzo I’m completely non religious now. Keep up the great work
William Jones the most realistic Brother on RUclips
gman Thanks bruh
I'm also 49 born in 71. Been atheist 4 yrs. I barely got out. This is true. They will say get rid of the bible and I still know god is real....had one relative say jesus talk back to her. I told my brother she needs some medication cause she hearing voices.
Have you collaborated with Emperor Atheist? You 2 should bring that FIRE on a video.
William, it's so true the older someone is the harder it is for someone to extracte themselves from the matrix. Rwaynesteiger has a channel, he was a super duper christian for 50 years and he got out and he speaks of those he left behind and they think he's the devil. His channel is great. He was all in with Kenneth Copeland and Kenneth Hagin down in Texas, Bible belt christian. He's a natural born philosopher, his perspectives are refreshing. Peace from the Wolf clan.
Great points William . Just glad that I wasnt raised in religion. I’d say I’m one of the lucky ones that always questioned it from an early age and also saw that really no younger person that confessed to be Christian was living it , especially my friends . And I use to always wonder why the people waited until they were in their 50 60 70’s to get all holy . Only listen to gospel, tell you what not to do and I’m sure when they were my age at the time did the same or even worse . I’m in a relationship with a woman now that’s 35 and I know she has a idea that it’s all bull crap ( especially with what I explained to her that doesn’t make sense when it come to religion ) but what keeps her from coming out or expressing it is pascal wager and she being worried about if her family will severe ties but her 19 year old niece has came out as being gay and they still haven’t ousted her . So the main threat to her is Hell . But I say doesn’t god already know you are playing him stupid by having doubts. He Knows All Things Right ?
Nothing but PLAIN TRUTH!! Those christians think you're the DEVIL!...lmao WAKE EM' UP, Billy!!
He's right millennials (people my age ) I'm 31. We dont fall the okey doke , if it sounds like bullsh*t than more than likely is
What up bro just found your page and thank you I. Got it early I always ask questions and they couldn't give me good answers it was just believe and when you still don't they go at you like you don't have nothing like them playing the dozens
Great video. I managed to get out at 50 years old.
I started waking up in my late 40's after years of questioning and research
I've been through a lot of paradigm shift since my departure from Fundamentalism Christianity around 2012 just a month or so after my mother passed (she passed on November 10, 2011 at 62). I became a Universalist for a while which they believe all will be saved (they don't believe in eternal damnation but some form of correction). Then later I became a bit more an agnostic spiritual person which I am today although now I no longer believe in any Abrahamic dualistic belief in a god. I've been more agnostic atheist for the past four years now. I remember after my mother died, one Sunday in church, a deacon got up and said many of your loved ones are in hell burning for eternity and that was the last time I stepped foot in a church. I quietly got up and walked out. At that point I wasn't fully overcoming my mother's death because mea and her was very close.
William Brown Sending you love and positivity, my brother. ❤️
@@sacredandsecured Thank you my sistah although I know I'm 7 months late. Sending love and positivity to you to as well.
"No weapon against me shall prosper" , I live in dominican republic , at the beginning of this year a couple of nice pastors were confused by the police, and they were taken as bandits when they weren't, they were real devoted people to their faith, who at the time of that incident , were returning in their car from a religious campaign preaching the gospel to people villa altagracia DR ..they were shot to death, both killed salvagely by the police such case arose a huge scandal on social media..no god protected them, ..no angels came at their rescue...another case , that happened this very year as well involving a lady very devoted too, returning from her father's birthday, along with her 15 yr old daughter , she had been baptized recently at a very popular church led by a famous dominicam gospel singer..she was also shot to death, by a policeman in boca chica DR ...no angel came at her rescue..no god prevented her from such situation at a dream...both cases happened in the dominican republic...god is a man made invention..say no more..!!
BULLSEYE!!!BINGO!!! I was just like you brutha. I wasnt in too deep when I turned the corner. I was dragged into by marriage and affiliations. I thought I was on the right track until
I started to ask questions AND saw how christians really ACT. They are different than the "non believer" folks. They just want to think they do.
I was born into Islam. My mom converted from Christianity in her late teens, early 20s.
I never had a connection to it, tried to find a connection in my early 20s because I thought it was the right thing to do. I eventually gave up and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made.
I was lucky enough to wake up at 68 years old by accident. The Bible sucks
That's amazing.

"Humans are COMPULSIVELY TRIBAL & COMPULSIVELY TERRITORIAL" ~Desmond Morris....JONES
Awesome, and soo very true!!!!
Great post!!!!
Christianity was created by men for power and control , You nailed it that Critical thinking skills is all that is needed i was turned off by it in my early teens hated it ever sense
great stuff right here
I’m 66 and I got out.
That's amazing!! You have a story to tell.
You must have been a great preacher because you're a very convincing atheist!
More videos please 🤗🤗
.....yeah. My sister was terminally ill so I went to her city to care for her. There I discovered RUclips. After getting her to bed, I’d be mopping and cleaning and the videos were on auto play. Dr. John Henrik Clarke came on. I agreed with allll he had to say so I let it play. At that time I was struggling to be a christian (all the rest of my family were). I was born in 1956! The year she passed was 2015. John Henrik Clarke said that we let the whit folk laugh at our Gods, take our religion and sell it back to us. I’d never heard of such. Then when he said religion was fake. No more binge watching him. Total opposite. I turned him off and never listened again for TWO YEARS! Thank goodness the seed was planted though!
A few months later was working in a salon and this young white guy said he needed a haircut because he was on his way to California. I asked what he was going out there for. Something inside me wanted to pull that question Back Into My Mouth!!!!!!!!!
He said he was going so that he could teach that religion is a crock. And that god and the devil are on the same team. The devil is like his hit man. At least I’m better than The Jehovah Witnesses or the sanctified folk. I let him talk and pretended to be in agreement. Upon completion of his service he gave me a 25 dollar tip. That sort of punctuated what he’d said. It STILL took a lot more for me to come out of that bullshyte, but Finally I’m out and can listen to Dr. John Henrik Clarke, even Jeremiah Camara. And was soooo pleasantly surprised to know that in The Isis Papers that Dr. Francis Cress Wellingsly speaks on the origin of that madness. I used to listen to her a lot and often wondered where she stood on that subject.
My sister had a publishing company, I’m going to take up the helm and write!
Take Care and thank you for making off the cuff vids.!
Hey sorry for my late reply, I'm just seeing this. This was a great story and I'm glad you're free from religion. Much love.
I remember when i was at church this lady just feel to the ground just let her whole body fall and she was crying and yelling i said what kind of shit is this its really does mess with you mind and they repeat the same things at chruch i never felt no connection at church i never felt gods presence never felt the holy ghost i think i was never meant to be under that belief
did u ever lay hands on ppl ? heal the sick ? cast out demons ? i am curious . Please go deeper. into those topics . Did u never experience the power of the Holy Ghost? i am being serious and want a real response , not some sarcastic half hearted reply . Thank u .
WORSHIPJESUS ALL DAY in public I would speak and let other people pray and lay hands on. I did pray and lay hands on a few, mostly my family (wife, kids). I talked with pastors about casting out demons and really making it the norm but they didn't want to hear me. I was too serious for the leadership and they just wanted to shut me up.
WORSHIPJESUS ALL DAY What I experienced from the Holy Spirit was all in my knowledge of the Bible. I got revelation on what I read. I could relate most situations to the Bible and people would listen. I only learned what I read. it didn't take spirit to do that.
William Jones sad to say thats most churches these days . i got kicked out of my church recently , but i cant be mad at them , christians are far from perfect . It sounds like ur church really stifled you , it happens , sadly most brothers in sisters in christ have wolf in sheep clothing leading them , men teaching in error and kick all the serious ppl out causing ppl to fall away .
WORSHIPJESUS ALL DAY You're on the same path ass I was. If you are one that keeps digging, you'll eventually see the facade.
I am 58 (year 2020) and I present facts to Christian's my age and older and they don't want to hear it. Example one would say let's thank God if your still healthy Durning the Covid 19 pandemic, and I would say should we also thank God for the 100,000 plus deaths from Covid 19. Crickets.
Let our confusion, confuse human beings for ones power so we can make a super race to control who we are to make things perfectly correct so apostles do not need a job anymore......hmmmm....GOD anyone?
To my understanding, when christians quote " no weapon formed against me shall prosper"... it means that the consequences of "sin" shall not rule over me..because of the work finished on the cross. That quote is used most by the evangelicals. It did not have a physical meaning.
we awake baby 🎉🎉🎉
religion has collapsed.
Trump supporter?
My Brother God Can Use Any Body He Chose! You Don't Have To Be A Christian! Jesus Said Blessed Are The Peace Makers For They Shall Be Called The Sons Of God! Gandhi Was A Hindu So He Didn't Went To Heaven! 😎 Do These Christmas, I Mean Santa Sorry Christian Lost Their Minds! or Is It The Blind Leading The Blind! Like Jesus Said!
Sir it's not easy....
but you did say you know the shield and the sward
and can use it well....
Do you enjoy fighting against nothing......
or something that lives in you.....
what's the foundation for the fight
you want people to know ...truth..??
are you planting a garden this yr.??
Be sure to keep the weeds out of it ,okay??
i mean ,might not matter....
might grow just fine not to have structure....
You can't even articulate yourself..no wonder you were an easy target for religious indoctrination. Poor sap, can't distinguish a claim from evidence..classic of a person of faith. No wonder psalm 23 refers to believers as sheep.
You should have prayed those demons away. The scoffing you see today was prophesied.
You're so gullible, typical of a cult member
U r spewing venom, I will always pray for u
*Yawns*..typical superstitious religious freak with his non-argument. Prayers don't do a thing, if your Middle Eastern deity had a plan then why pray? You pray for us, while we think for you - you gullible sap!
