I can’t speak for Peter, but I also drifted away from caring much about atheism/​humanism. In my case, I found that EA gave me all the rationality and caring-about-people that I’d been looking for, without the discussion of religion or focus on religion-related issues (which often felt repetitive or low-impact). My values and beliefs didn’t change; I just found a better way to fulfill them.
This raises a question: Is there something EA gave some of the people who left, which they then found more of in some other place?
