Draft:Religious Residue
| Submission declined on 21 April 2024 by Utopes (talk). Neologisms are not considered suitable for Wikipedia unless they receive substantial use and press coverage; this requires strong evidence in independent, reliable, published sources. Links to sites specifically intended to promote the neologism itself do not establish its notability. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a dictionary. We cannot accept articles that are little more than definitions of words or abbreviations as entries. A good article should begin with a good definition, but expand on the subject. You might try creating a definition for this instead at Wiktionary, which is a dictionary. Please only do so if it meets that sister project's criteria for inclusion. These require among others, attestation for the word or phrase, as verified through clear widespread use, or its use in permanently recorded media, conveying meaning, in at least three independent instances spanning at least a year.

Comment: Currently just exists as a definition of the neologism. Is going to need more fleshing out to demonstrate wider-spread use. External links in the body of an article rarely have a good purpose; linking to someone's personal website is not one. Utopes (talk / cont) 08:47, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
The term "religious residue," is used to describe the psychological tendency for religious beliefs and emotional responses to persist after people de-identify from religion[1] which is also known as a part of the process of faith deconstruction. This phenomenon was discovered by psychologist Daryl Van Tongeren, whose cross-cultural empirical work found that religious behaviors, emotions, and processes linger after people leave their faith. This reaction among formerly religious individuals is distinguish from those who were never religious or still religious.[2] This subset of formerly religious people can be identified as religious "dones."[3][4]
