Localized version for English
Nepal is Hindu as a country. The dominant religious context is: Hindu majority (~81%) with Buddhist (~9%), Muslim (~4%), and Kirat (~3%) minorities; secular constitution since 2015.
Religious deconstruction in a Hindu-majority country is a different category than the more institutional exits the wider deconstruction conversation usually covers. The active disagreements in Nepal are often about caste, marriage, and family conformity rather than about doctrine in a Western sense. The pillar pages on Islam, Pentecostal Christianity, and on family shunning may fit specific situations better than a single "leaving Hinduism" framing would.
Leaving in Nepal 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.
