Question un-born again?

So, ChristianForums has this as their Latest Official Poll on their main page:

Are you "Born Again"? (Results)
Yes
No
Not sure

Well, what if, like me, you had the whole "Born Again" experience as a youth (I even got Sanctified!) ... but now you've given it all up.

Are you de-born? What's a good "Born-again"-related term for losing one's religion?

Discuss.

You might try, "Beyond Born Again" which Robert Price seems to call it! Here's the link:

To quote Arthur Rimbaud: "Baptism enslaved me."

Yours is definitely an appropriate term to use.
