Over the past decade, researchers have documented the steady growth of religious "exiters" - those who drop their affiliation with any organised religion. Religious disaffiliation or "exiting" may affect health, and while most studies of religion and health are quantitative and e...

520 |a Over the past decade, researchers have documented the steady growth of religious "exiters" - those who drop their affiliation with any organised religion. Religious disaffiliation or "exiting" may affect health, and while most studies of religion and health are quantitative and emphasise the health benefits of religious involvement, little qualitative research has been devoted to documenting the lived experience of religious exiting. This qualitative study investigates the social psychological consequences of leaving religion in an understudied subgroup of exiters - individuals who have left Christian fundamentalist religions. Drawing on 24 in-depth interviews, this research reveals the processes through which former religious participants reconstruct supportive social relationships to reinforce their well-being. The results demonstrate that while it is challenging in the initial stages of the exiting process to forge and cultivate new supportive relationships, the construction of nonreligious social networks eventually contributed to their greater well-being.
