[edit] Ex-Christian

I don't think this is a very useful page. The term itself should be covered by a dicdef since the other sections on the page make assumptions about the "ex-christian" including trying to list reasons why they became ex-christian and the process they went through, which is clearly not the same for all ex-christians. --Pboyd04 00:12, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

• Merge with Apostasy. The article is about apostasy, and should be mentioned shortly in that article. There's no reason to belabor the point by making it into a separate article. Alphachimp ^talk 00:20, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per Alphachimp. A redirect to that page probably isn't necessary. -- H·G (^words/_works) 01:21, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge as above. I would've said keep, it seemed to have potential, but it just stinks too much of OR and speculation. — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib Reverts} 02:17, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to Apostasy. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 04:37, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per above. SynergeticMaggot 04:51, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per above Crazywolf 06:47, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect, as per Alphachimp.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  09:21, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into the "In Christianity" section of Apostasy according to Alphachimp's reasons. Scorpiondollprincess 14:12, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Unnecessary and presumptious. Abcdefghijklm 15:49, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and once deleted, possibly create a redirect to apostasy. This article is obviously original research and I see nothing of value to be merged. The article is an unsourced list of reasons someone might cease to be a Christian. While interesting and while, given the prominence of the ex-Christian movement within the atheist community this is a topic worthy of an article, the currsent article is unhelpful.

• Merge and Redirect - Subject matter is related to Apostasy and may be a valid search term. Otherwise we may end up revisiting this AFD in the future. Torinir _{( Ding my phone My support calls E-Support Options )} 00:41, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to apostasy; nothing in here to merge save a dicdef and original research. Ziggurat 01:26, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
