Why are people leaving the church?

Tim Bower and Jason Loftis launched a website in February 2007, Letters From Leavers. Here’s just one small taste of one person’s anonymous letter:

Geez, I thought my past life was bad which was one of the reasons i became saved. After experiencing the church, the world is not so bad after all. At this point, I have lost most of my faith and am a lone ranger with no desire to set foot in a church again. I watch church on TV and that makes it a safe place. As far as the “world” is concerned its not that bad at all really because unbelievers can show just as much love and honor friendships and they know how to be “cool.”
