Apostasy is the act of leaving a religion you once believed in, or of stopping your support for a political party or cause. Dictionaries like to say “suddenly,” and sometimes it is a public break. Though actually, it can be slow: a quiet walking away that other people only name as apostasy later. It is a heavy, formal word. Believers may use it with pain or anger; historians and journalists use it more . In it overlaps with , but apostasy still carries the older religious taste of “you stood with us, and now you do not.”
