Religious disaffiliation is a category for books that explore the experiences, causes, and consequences of loosening or leaving one’s ties to a faith tradition or religious community. Titles range from personal narratives and memoirs (exvangelical, former LDS, ex-Muslim, ex–Orthodox Jewish, and more) to sociological, psychological, and historical studies of deconversion, “the nones,” religious switching, and secularization. The category also includes practical guides for navigating doubt and “deconstruction,” managing family and community dynamics, recovering from high-control groups, and rebuilding identity, ethics, and meaning—whether in another faith, in post-religious spirituality, or in atheism/agnosticism. Investigative works on institutional abuse, cult dynamics, and scandal-driven exits sit alongside pastoral and therapeutic resources. Together, these books illuminate both the intimate, lived realities and the broader cultural shifts surrounding life beyond organized religion.
