Not I. I felt relieved.

Sorry for everyone who has gone through this.

I was never religious, so this PTSD via religion is another reason just how bad worshipping is for people and society.

It's hard leaving things sometimes even if you've decided you don't believe

No

I suffer from depression which began in my childhood, because my entire family, most of all my mother, drank the Southern Baptist koolaid. I've never suffered from becoming agnostic.

my apologies for the choppy word salad from using voice recognition and lazy post editing while driving.
It's completely natural for us to become saddened and even depressed when discovering new things and being unable to socialize or have our friends and family relate our new learning curve.
After decades of research and new discoveries I still find myself saddened by being unable to relate the others the joys of new insights and discovery

The emotional and psychological discomfort and pain legitimately feel the way through cognitive dissonance making our Exodus from faith mythical thinking to logic and reason quite real sometime very profound.
But it should not be confused with PTSD or clinical depression as they are rooted in different causes.
Education and understanding of new things created by the synapses in our brain are like muscles that we have never exercise and are similar can feeling the same pains after work the reaping the healthy benefits in the long run.
But you must be of good cheer for they're Millions around here and ever increasing numbers in our country that are making the same Exodus from imaginary thinking to critical thinking, reason and discovering the awe of seeing this world for what it is and being free from unethical and immoral fears unjustified by those who wish to use myths and legends to control you

No, I have not felt that. It dose not have to be "all or nothing" or "black or white". I have felt a spiritual connection since I was a little girl and never really conformed or felt any kind of commitment to religion. I have had near death experiences and out of body experiences, so yes i believe in an after life of sorts.

I don't know if I would classify what I experienced as either depression or PTSD, but certainly there was a period of mourning, accompanied by all the associated feelings and stages.

Really?

Not here. My depression came after 30 plus years of being atheist, so...

Yes I have both of those.
No I never believed in 'god' per-say.
I left religion because it was too confining for my wickedness.

It was more liberating than anything at the time. Remorse, shame and regret followed as I had a different view of my prior actions. Other things in life make me depressed. Not disbelieving in the bogey man, but I get your question. I have some friends that because of their up bringing, may have a much harder struggle with a conclusion that god is a hoax.

Was only a Christian for 3 months in my aldult life. I must have been the most alloying person they ever had in church by asking way too many questions. If I stay a Christian would have turn into a world-class phony asshole. No side effects, other than a few less social clubs to go to.

I didn't but did have some slight aniexity more than anything i had an extreme feeling of relief and freedom.The freedom from religion foundation is known to help and support people coming out of religion. They might be a good source. My saddest acknowledgement was realizing I didn't feel as connected with my family as I once had because I had changed so much and religion is still a huge part of their life.

No.

No, I had always questioned God's existence. None of the stories made any sense. Depression and possible PTSD came after that for other reasons.

For me, it was neither of those, but a challenge for which I found little support among my friends or family. When I had questions that I felt needed answers, it often seemed like the reaction was, "Shut up, weirdo, and have some more kool aid." It was mainly by perseverance and dumb luck that I navigated to where I'm at today.

No

Intersting topic, I would say the suffering came with others reactions.... I mean we really can seclude ourselves in this religious world ?

After being religious for so long it was an enlightenment for me. I was happy to be free to really concentrate on this world and the things I love.
