Do people really lose their religion because of logic and reason? I’ve never seen this. There is usually some deeper story. If someone asks me why I don’t believe, despite being raised in the church, I’ll simply say it didn’t make sense and babble on about reason and logic if they push. This is just a shield to avoid sharing the truth with people I don’t trust on a very deep level.

Yes. Your experience is not every experience.

		This is why I said “usually”, and provided an example from my life, instead of saying “always” as if it was a universal fact.

		No, but it's extremely common. Whenever I've met people who claim to have "reasoned" their way out of religion it has always been extremely shallow teenage rebellion, and always driven by feelings. Even aalewis was "euphoric".
