religious scholars no longer use the term conversions. instead, they say religious switching

that's because people who leave their childhood religion don't usually join another one. most of them end up unaffiliated

they might still believe in God or the afterlife, but they no longer trust the religious leaders

It's fascinating to see how language evolves to reflect our changing understanding of complex issues. Using 'religious switching' instead of 'conversions' acknowledges the nuanced reality that many people don't necessarily switch to another organized religion, but rather, explore their own spirituality or choose not to affiliate with any particular faith. This shift in terminology also highlights the growing distrust in institutionalized religion and the increasing desire for personal, individualized spiritual experiences.
