'Apostasy is the
formal disaffiliation from or abandonment or renunciation of
a religion by a person. One who commits apostasy is known as
an apostate.'
As I never was the member of
any religion, I cannot ever be correctly accused of
apostasy. As the TM org claims it is not a religion, so no
one can ever be correctly accused for disafilliating or
abandoning TM as apostasy (unless of course the TM org is
lying about that claim).

Apostasy is a terrible thing.
-Buck
The
danger comes when it (apostasy) is made public, like that a
Muslim
has stopped believing in the principles of
Islam.
There
is no compassion for Muslims who "betray their
faith" by
converting to other religions or who simply stop believing
in one God
and the Prophet Muhammad.
And,
in most cases, the family itself disowns a person who
becomes an
apostate.
Conversion,
or apostasy, is also a crime under Afghanistan's Islamic
law and is
punishable by death.
In
some instances, people may even take matters into their own
hands and
beat an apostate to death without the case going to
court.
