Is it because of...
(usually my nan's name here)
this was from when I was slowly moving away from a christian upbringing, had a few well meaning people asking whether it was due to my nan's death (not that far in the past at that time), or one of my grandad's illness at the time (that went away, he's still going strong)
It just made me grumpy that the initial assumption was that i was just leaving because of one death. I am by no means a scholar but I did think about this and try to understand why people have the religious beliefs they do, and honestly wanted to try and learn about other beliefs and ideas I didn't grow up with to see what I thought made sense. but no, instant assumption that I'm doing this out of childish emotion.
