Speaking at the Asian Humanist Conference hosted by Humanist Malaysia, Sree said his experience had convinced him that abandoning religious belief did not require abandoning purpose or belonging.

“Leaving religion behind does not mean losing meaning and community. We do not need divine or supernatural beliefs to live a meaningful and fulfilling life,” he said.

For Sree, ethics and purpose are instead things human beings create collectively — ideas that can be questioned, improved and passed on.

We just wrapped our Humanist Cafe on leaving religion and the journey of deconstruction. Attendees shared their personal experiences of stepping away from organized religion. We explored the struggles and challenges that come with leaving faith-based beliefs.

Throughout it all, participants were incredibly graceful and open. Our discussion touched on existential crises, nihilism, and how to build our own morality and ethical frameworks. We also reflected on what religion has to offer—its useful contributions to society, and the timeless themes, stories, mythologies, and allegories that have inspired humanity. These were early attempts to make sense of the world and shape moral understanding.

As we grow and question these ideas, we can upgrade our outlook while still appreciating religion’s gifts. It was a deeply meaningful session filled with honest stories and shared hardships. Have you walked a similar path?
