It's not easy to leave and start seeing through it and navigate life on your own.

The number of adults on a typical Sunday in the local churches in my area has been stagnant for a long time. Lot's of "new ones" have been recruited, especially from the campuses. But it seems that as many leave as are added. There are a few more cities with local churches in my region now vs 30 years ago.
