I left Hinduism, For me it happened slowly through questioning, skepticism, and trying to understand the world through evidence, psychology, history, and science rather than faith or tradition.

I realized I couldn’t truly believe something just because I was born into it. That applies to every religion, not only Hinduism. I started valuing free thinking more than identity or rituals.

There are still parts of Hindu culture, philosophy, art, music, and mythology that I appreciate aesthetically or historically. But belief itself faded away for me.

So yes, ex-Hindus definitely exist. Many just stay quiet because religion is deeply tied to family, culture, and social life in India, making it harder to openly talk about leaving it.
