Why do you have to formally resign from any religion, it is ridiculous, there is a thing called free will. You can make your own decisions and choices in regards to who or what you want to worship. It seems everyone else is telling you what you can or can't be. Decide for yourself and live with your decision.

It’s because the church still claims you as one of their own , they still claim to be doing things in your name
