Religious Trauma

Religious Trauma Syndrome is a medical disorder characterized by symptoms similar to depression, anxiety, and AVPD. Religious Trauma is caused by bad experiences with toxic and controlling religions and (especially) religious people.

With the steady but noticeable decline of religion around the world, in addition to poor mental health in atheists and teens/young adults, Religious Trauma has begun to gain traction and is slowly being taken more seriously, although it's still seldom brought up and has yet to be officially recognized.

People with Religious Trauma usually become "angry atheists" - people who are absolutely opposed to all forms of religion and extremely hostile towards religious people.

Religious Trauma is a very serious disorder that does not get enough attention.
