Actually, I am one. Nearly twenty years in the fundy world, and about eight out of it. It happens more often than you might think, but most are still in contact with their families so they tend to just be quietly apostate rather than shouting out to the world. I've cut off all contact with my own family, because one of the things they simply could not accept was that I chose to deliberately reject their god and their way of life.
It's events like this with Haggard that will make a few people think and take that closer look, and there will be those who leave because of it. That's one reason they fight so hard to keep these things from a) happening and b) being made public.
