The deconversion stories below did not necessarily involve counter-evangelism. Counter-evangelism did play a key role in some of theise stories. But deconversion from Christianity often happens entirely from within, by the person's own reasoning.
However, understanding how a variety of people have deconverted from Christianity may aid in the development of more effective counter-evangelism strategies.

I'd love to publish some deconversion stories here on this site, especially from people who are currently adherents of alternative religions. (Most of the above stories are from people who are currently atheists.) You may email me your story.
I'd also love it if someone (and preferably more than one person) could go through all the above stories and try to extract some useful insights. If anyone decides to write a survey article about these stories, please let me know, and I'll certainly consider publishing it here (or linking to it, if already published on another site). I am unlikely to have time to write such an article myself in the near future, alas.
