This study focuses on why people not longer want to be a part of a religious communion they have earlier been a part of. To examine this I have made seven interviews with people who have left their previous communions.

They refer i.e. to the social control, the ?closed? culture and the non-questioning-culture that constitute the communions and its techniques.
