When I became an atheist, it was a rejection of myth and superstition. I was a Catholic, but I didn't think my church was any different from other denominations.

I have read posts here in which the writer claims disillusionment with the RCC as the reason for switching to Episcopalism.

They still use the same hate manual. They still worship the same author. I don't get it.
