Because in many places in the US it means being cut off from your family, friends, the only support group you've ever known, could result in being made homeless, or any aide being cut off. It could result in being verbally and physically abused as well.

Wow… really? I am pleased to say that in the uk, “in general “ that is not the case…

I can’t imagine “pretending”” to believe something just to keep a roof over my head…. Fook that!

The concept of “God” is that he “forgives” …

Wow.
