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.

Apostasi
Apostasi är att avfalla från något, i synnerhet en religion. En person som är apostat har slutat bekänna sig till religionen i fråga. Den romerske kejsaren Julianus Apostata (361-363) fick sitt tillnamn för att han avföll från kristendomen och införde hednisk kult.
