<p>If you don&#8217;t leave then the church will continue to count you in their official membership counts, and this helps them to gain addition funding, and maintain power within the local community.</p>
<p>There is a similar website for Brits that want to renounce their baptism, but you still need to jump through a few hoops to get the church to recognise it and remove you from the counts.</p>
