“But it’s the personal toll that hits the hardest. Simply changing one’s mind can mean leaving behind not only one’s family and community, but also childhood memories, lifestyle, relationships, feelings of belonging, and, as discussed earlier, one’s sense of security, safety, and comfort. When beliefs are so deeply ingrained in one’s identity, a shattered faith almost inevitably results in a shattered identity—one that must be rebuilt fragment by fragment.”
― Ali A. Rizvi, The Atheist Muslim: A Journey from Religion to Reason
