Just because someone leaves a religion that no longer works for them, does it mean that they no longer love God or want to serve him?

Possibly, but not necessarily.

It seems that most people who came to religion through infant baptism up through early adulthood sooner or later will go through a "crisis of faith" that will cause them to question the tenets of their faith or even the existence of God Himself.

It is then, it seems to me, that we either validate and accept the faith we know or reject it entirely (for some indefinite period of time, if not permanently).

And what I have just described is---at its essence---a (necessary?) opportunity for personal growth and understanding, and the first opportunity for registering our intent and choice in the matter.

I had one in my late 20's and early 30's---in retrospect, it was the best thing that ever happened to me.  Faith informed by reason is thoroughly exhilarating. This post was edited by tom jackson at June 11, 2017 4:56 PM MDT

I dont care what happens, everyone deserves a good meal.

==================================================================

1- It’s a fact that a person cannot stay in a religion that no longer works for them.

2- If a person leaves a religion and becomes an atheist then yes, it does mean that the person no longer loves God nor wants to serve him. That’s obvious

3- If a person leaves a religion to join another one then it does mean that the person no longer loves the God of the religion they have left, nor wants to serve him. That’s obvious too.

4- God, the creator of all is the same of course, but different religions see Him in different ways.

Many are leaving their religion because they are dissatisfied, and dissalusioned. This doesn't mean they don't love God, they are still looking for answers.
