Many of us who are ex-religious can pinpoint a moment when everything came crashing down. Today, we are talking through those moments.

These moments are fascinating, as is reflecting on all the things we put up with before the shelf got too heavy. Remember, shelf-breaker, don’t you mess around with me!
