This described why I left to a T:

A lot of people who have gone secular were repulsed by reactionary Evangelicals (and certain reactionary Catholics) making common cause with the Radical Right. The rise of flat-out anti-gay and racial bigotry has intensified this trend.

For a long time I left the door open to returning to it, hoping that the extremist elements would eventually get kicked to the curb. Sadly this never happened, so with great sadness I shut that door.
