Belgium

Belgium is religiously mixed and largely secular as a country. The dominant religious context is: Historically Catholic and now mostly secular — practicing Catholic share around 10%; significant Muslim minority (~7%); Flemish/Walloon religious differences pronounced.

Belgium is largely secular as a national culture, and the deconstructions happening here are concentrated in specific sub-communities rather than the country as a whole. Pick the pillar page that fits the specific tradition you grew up in — Catholic, evangelical, Pentecostal, JW, Orthodox Jewish, or Muslim — the broader country context is comparatively forgiving.

Leaving in Belgium mostly costs you on a family scale rather than a community or legal scale. The conversations are real and sometimes painful, but the wider society is not configured to punish unbelief.
