The Shape of Leaving in Mongolia

Mongolia is Buddhist as a country. The dominant religious context is: Tibetan Buddhist majority (~53%) with strong shamanic tradition and growing "no religion" (~38%); small Christian and Muslim minorities.

Mongolia is mostly Buddhist or Buddhist-cultural, and a Western-style deconstruction is rarer here than in monotheistic-majority countries. The harder exits in Mongolia are usually from the new religious movements, from Christian missionary churches, or from Jehovah’s Witnesses. Pick the pillar page that fits the specific community you came out of.

Leaving organized religion in Mongolia is, for most people, a private and largely social affair. The wider culture is secular enough that being non-religious is unremarkable, and the cost is mostly inside the immediate family rather than across the community.
