Talk:Apostasy

definition

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. Wėąṣėḷőįď^{Methinks 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)

Depends where they're immigrants from & to. ωεαşεζøίɗ^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 23:09, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
