Ex-Muslims give reasons they left the faith, using a hashtag

1 December 2015 Last updated at 00:07 GMT

Ex-Muslims are using a hashtag, #ExMuslimBecause, to tell why they have left the faith.

The Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain started the tag, saying it wanted to defend people's right to leave Islam and criticise it without fear or intimidation.

But many Muslims are taking issue, saying that the hashtag is "hateful," and being used as an excuse for Muslim-bashing at a time of increasing fear of Islamophobia.

I don't have the media where I can see these ex-Muslims' comments on why they gave up Islam but I would have love to see them and compare them to the written books I have for why former non-Muslims bacame Muslims. I key factor that I would be looking for is substance because generally people who changes their religions do so only after much contemplation and conviction.
