Our interfaith marriage support group has three couples where one partner has lost faith entirely, and we're supposed to be helping each other navigate religious differences but now we're dealing with belief versus non-belief.

More people experience this than they realize.
Support communities designed for religious difference must adapt when some members move beyond faith entirely, questioning whether existing frameworks can accommodate such fundamental changes.
