Uncle Nonss, a TikTok creator who no longer identifies as a Christian, has gone viral after listing four church practices he refused to participate in during his years as a believer, prompting a wave of responses from viewers who shared their own complicated relationships with church traditions.
The Four Practices He Rejected
In a video posted two days ago on his account @nicenonss, Uncle Nonss described himself as someone who sat in the pews but quietly drew his own lines around what he was willing to do. Topping his list was tithing. He said he never handed over 10 per cent of his income to the church, pointing to the contrast between what was being collected inside and the poverty visible just outside the building. He expressed pride in that decision.
Giving an offering was also something he flatly rejected, questioning who exactly that money was really going to. His third point drew significant attention: he admitted he never liked praying before meals, arguing that if food contained poison, no prayer said before eating would undo the harm afterwards. The fourth item on his list was a strong distaste for any form of deliverance ministry, though he did not go into lengthy detail on that point.
Viewers Share Their Own Church Confessions
The video quickly turned into an open forum, with commenters volunteering their own quiet rebellions from their churchgoing days. @chronicallyesther said: "Is this a safe space? I became a Sunday school teacher so i didn't have to sit through those sermons ???." @Ade♥ said: "Fasting? ? ??? asin make i no chop???" @jesse said: "Have you heard of first fruit? To give your ENTIRE salary of the year (January) lol." @Lyannacore?♥ said: "I love sleeping in church, the sleep feels so different ??."

Separately, a former pastor who quit Christianity shared what he noticed about his life after his decision. Genesis, who now identifies himself as an apostle of knowledge to the nations, said he did not quit Christianity due to offences and frustration, adding that he left at a time he was about to start making money from it. According to Genesis, he quit Christianity after he found out that the gospel was not true, and he added that his life is better off now than when he was a Christian.
