I've been racking my brain for like two hours trying to think of the phrase that means you're not something anymore. It's like "reformed catholic" and it can be about anything. Lapsed communist, failed atheist, fuck it's a well-known phrase that's been around for awhile. Hitchens used it talking about himself as RECOVERING holy shit I just got it. I'm going to post this anyway because we've all been here.

Fuck it, how about a thread of phrases that hit the spot? Mine is obviously

reformed catholic means you're still christian, just part of one of the nuttier sects who are trying to pretend they haven't gone protestant. lapsed catholic is one who isn't practicing and is living in sin. but then there's practically no way to become an ex-catholic, even if you really really try.

Ex? Ex-gf, ex-catholic. Maybe obvious. Worth a shot though

how about an anticatholic, since most are reactionary anyway. just like hitchens was an antitheist
