The Apostasy Project

The Apostasy Project is a scholarly investigation into cases where individuals leave or are expelled from religious groups, particularly within the context of Mormonism. Its goal is to understand why apostasy occurs, how it's handled by the community, and the implications for individuals and faith communities. By studying these dynamics, the project aims to shed light on religious loyalty, dissent, and the social and doctrinal factors influencing apostasy, fostering a better understanding of religious belief systems and their boundaries.
