This has generally been my own path of de-conversion from a strain of Evangelical Christianity as I became more and more skeptical and finally disbelieving of the modernist urge for evangelicals to back up all their ridiculous claims with biblical truth that, as it turns out, has no basis in reality.
I am actually quite certain I would still be practicing if I had been raised a type of Catholic or Eastern Orthodox. There is something far more anti-fragile about those churches and their fascination with the mysteries of human existence.
I have become more atheist in my behaviour - taking sole responsibility for my actions, examining them through a lens of personal ethics, and behaving in a way that aligns with humanist expectations
That said, I am still not satisfied with positivist explanations for our existence either. I remain, and probably always will remain, an agnostic.
