IMO - people leave religion, most often, because it's hard. It asks for self denial and like most animals, our default condition is to simply satisfy any/all desires.


It's easy to follow a standard when there isn't an alternative. Add temptation (which the world is doing at an accelerating rate) and suddenly the ask seems harder to accomplish. It gets hard - you rationalize the reason why you no longer want to participate and you bail.
