A church leaver is a Christian who has decided he no longer wants to be a part of a local congregation. So he simply stops attending church, and no longer fellowships with Christians, and no longer submits himself to the authority of any church leadership structure. He has not necessarily ceased his belief in God and Jesus and the Bible, but rather he has chosen to no longer participate in church attendance, and all the trappings that come with church attendance.
Most church leavers who wish to remain devout in their faith rely heavily upon the internet for sermons and for indepth Bible research. They find comfort in being able to watch a pre-recorded YouTube sermon at their leisure, or else to be an anonymous "lurker" during a live webcast of a live Sunday morning sermon being sent out from some church elsewhere in the world.
They will sometimes interact on social media groups with other Christians where they might discuss theological matters and even ask for prayer. But the priority of a church leaver to remaining uncommitted to any one church body or group of believers is never compromised.

I became a church leaver when I realized that church attendance was more burdensome than simply worshiping God on my own.

Curb Church is where you meet with a friend to talk about life, love, and the pursuit of happiness on a street curb till the wee hours of the morning while chasing the sunrise.

All you have to do is whatever I say forever regardless of whether or not the direct or peripheral effect of doing that is bad and regardless of the outcome...
A muffin "The church can save this country!"
Hym "Then why is it not doing that?"
A muffin "Uh... Well, you're not doing what I say forever."
Hym "Right, but if you believe that then you should just be doing that anyway, right? Like, you could save the country... But you're not doing it so..."
A muffin "Withholding aid and resources as punishment for non-compliance is part of the religion I'm doing to you."
Hym "Yeah, ok, so it can't save the country... It's harming the country by withholding aid (arbitrarily) and you're offering to STOP DOING THE THING YOU'RE DOING... In exchange for forever-compliance?"
A muffin "Correct."
Hym "So, you're not saving the country. You're destroying the country until everyome does what you want?"
A muffin "Correct... BUT! I COULD be saving it instead... But I'm not going to unless you fuck your sister."

Someone who is possession of a Fila fanny pack. He often falls asleep in church. He is seen as a librarian hoe, a toe sucker, and a bitch.
Jacob is a church penis.

The Church of the Night Time Cat is a bi-papal religion centring around the mythical 'Cat of the Night Time' (the Night Time Cat). It is believed that the Night Time Cat watches over his followers and keeps them safe from the night time sins of the Ripper (e.g. Sexual Assault, Alcoholic poisoning and STD's) and provides them with protection against these (condoms, taxis home, fake IDs, pot and other illicit substances).
Man 1 "May the Night Time Cat watch over you as you sleep"
Man 2 " oh but I'm not a follower of the Church of the Night Time Cat"
