I agree with you that GP's comparison was a bit drastic, to say the least. However, you have gone too far in the other direction. You make it sound like leaving a religion is just as easy as unsubscribing from a newsletter. Visit one of the ex-religion subreddits sometime. I know Mormonism and Christianity both have one. To be fair, those online groups will be selection biased towards the most difficult situations. But I think many of those experiences are not terribly uncommon.
