I think the term "Religioned Out" best describes many who leave the JWs.
That is certainly how I felt after I finally managed to break free from that bloody lot!

For my part, I became a main stream Christian when I left. I became a 'non-believer' much later on.
I would think it reasonable to surmise that it's different for all people who leave Jobotism.
A Pastor said to me that because of the way the Cult brainwashes people it's little wonder they lose ALL faith when they escape captivity of the fake JW religion.
