Apostasy
Apostasy (from Greek αποστασία, meaning a defection or revolt, from απο, apo, "away, apart", στασις, stasis, "standing") is a term generally employed to describe the formal abandonment or renunciation of one's religion, especially if the motive is deemed unworthy. In a technical sense, as used sometimes by sociologists without the pejorative connotations of the word, the term refers to renunciation and criticism of, or opposition to one's former religion. One who commits apostasy is an apostate, or one who apostatises. Apostasy is generally not a self-definition: very few former believers call themselves apostates and they generally consider this term to be a pejorative. One of the possible reasons for this renunciation is loss of faith, another is the failure of alleged religious indoctrination or brainwashing.

Apostasie
Der Ausdruck Apostasie (griech. αποστασία, abgeleitet von : από [apo] = ab von, fern + στάσις [stasis] = Stand, Stehen, Haltung, Position) bezeichnet den Abstand von einer Religion durch einen förmlichen Akt (z. B.  Kirchenaustritt, Übertritt zu einem anderen Bekenntnis, Konversion). Jemand, der Apostasie vollführt, ist ein Apostat. Gebräuchlich ist dieser Begriff vor allem in der Römisch-katholischen Kirche.Während Häresie nur eine oder mehrere überlieferte Lehren der Religion bestreitet, lehnt der Apostat die Religion, zu der er Abstand hat, selbst ab.

Apostazja

Apostasia
Il termine apostasia (dal greco απο, apo, "lontano, distaccato", στασις, stasis, "restare") definisce l'abbandono formale della propria religione (in tale contesto si parlerà più propriamente di apostata della religione). In questo senso è irrilevante se a seguito di tale abbandono vi sia l'adesione a un'altra religione (conversione) oppure la scelta areligiosa o atea. In senso stretto, il termine è riferito alla rinuncia e alla critica della propria precedente religione. Una vecchia e più ristretta definizione di questo termine si riferiva ai cristiani battezzati che abbandonavano la loro fede.
