Indeed, this sense of relief in the midst of our
grief can be confusing. Initially, I felt guilty about my excitement
at finally becoming non-religious, especially since most of my friends
and family remained faithful. What they saw as
the sudden and tragic death of my faith felt – to me – like the
merciful pulling of tubes, allowing something lifeless to end. When I
expressed my happiness at no longer being religious, they often
experienced my exuberance as inappropriate or disrespectful.
