This flag is meant for anyone who has deconstructed from a religion or spirituality. This includes anyone who used to be in one religion, but is now atheist or agnostic, or reconverted to a different religion or spirituality, or renounced a large part of their own religion or spirituality while still hanging onto other parts.

Apostates are often heavily ostracized and persecuted. In some places renouncing your religion can be punishable by torture and death. Many people who deconstruct experience being disowned, violated, and put into religious therapies and programs.

Even when you are safe, leaving your religion can be an extremely lonely experience.

This flag is meant to be used by apostates and deconstructing people to cheer themselves up and feel pride, while also signaling support and solidarity towards others with similar experiences. This flag is meant to unify all apostates and deconstructing people through their experience.
