Localized version for English
Switzerland is religiously mixed and largely secular as a country. The dominant religious context is: Roughly half Catholic / half Protestant historically, with growing "no religion" (~30%) and growing Muslim minority (~5%); cantonal differences large.
Switzerland 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 Switzerland 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.
