I saw one of my fundy friends on FB post this aswell. I couldn't help but reply and let her know that in the higher learning colleges such as Harvard where they study the original fragments, that the contrast from what they believed growing up and what they realise was the original text is so different that many lose their faith. And would need such a chaplain that understands what they are going through. 

 

I've been becoming more open about my non belief on FB lately. I'm tired of hiding it. Hell I'm tired of seeing the everybody pray for such n such posts too. If they don't want to be my friend because I no longer believe. Well..... Adios. I gotta live my life now.

Many religious "leaders" are in fact atheists, but few of them can come out publicly. https://clergyproject.org/

It would seem to me that anyone who really studies the stuff would realize it's bogus. And I'd think that these "leaders" who have realized it look upon their role as just another job, one which they may be trapped in. After all that study and preparation and time invested, I can see that it would be hard to switch careers.
