As an #exvangelical with actual Gaelic as hekk maternal heritage, I can potentially break this down into mechanisms, actually. If I may spout off based on experience...
Fundie Christianity: Everyone needs to be in THIS CHURCH or they'll DIE FOREVER in HELL and it's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY (YOU) to FIX THAT
Resulting mechanism: Belief that converting and joining a church is a favor to that church (it is, cha ching)

((also therapy) #EmptyThePews )
Escaping the church: You were lied to but you still have a strong sense of spirituality.
MECHANISM still in place: I will join another religion they will be so happy to have me everyone loves converts
