2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Talk:Apostasy

definition[edit]

Does one has to be religious at some point for the renunciation to be valid (i.e. convicted of apostacy) or does that vary by location/religion/some other factor? [[User:K61824|]][[User_talk:K61824|]] 22:45, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

It's defined as abandoning the faith, so applies to people who had been followers of a faith or (for ethnic, cultural or family reasons) are expected to be followers of that faith. E.g. in Malaysia, Islam is mandated for Malays but not for the various other ethnicities. WèàšèìòìďWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 22:57, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
So... immigrants/foreigners are usually given free passes on these? [[User:K61824|]][[User_talk:K61824|]] 23:06, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
