Starting in 2012, Lambesis has made several statements indicating a change in his religious beliefs: in a post on his personal Tumblr page explaining some of the lyrics from the AILD album ''Awakened'' (released September 2012), Lambesis stated that his studies of theology had led him to the conclusion that "tradition and truth are often at odds with each other". While he noted that he "didn't hate all religious belief" and was "still inspired by the words of ()", he was finding it "very difficult for to outline exactly who it is that’s worth siding with", and was increasingly regarding "the god of tradition and ritual that I grew up with as less and less of a probable truth". He also quoted the book ''Pagan Christianity'' by George Barna and Frank Viola, noting that both "Protestant and Catholic denominations have poisonous roots".〔(Clarification on "A Greater Foundation" ).

NBC-7 San Diego. Accessed 27 Feb 14. ''"In an email sent in August, Lambesis told his wife he had been having an affair and no longer loved her the prosecutor said in court. 'He also told her he no longer believes in God,” Grasso said.'"〕 They separated the same month. She filed papers in San Diego Superior Court one month later in September 2012 seeking a dissolution of their marriage, according to an online court database. In divorce papers, Meggan stated that Lambesis was obsessed with bodybuilding, spending "endless hours at the gym", and was wasting "thousands of dollars on tattoos". She also alleged that he had become "dangerously distracted" while watching their children, including falling asleep while they played in their pool, and had taken two last-minute trips to Florida to see an extramarital girlfriend.〔(‘As I Lay Dying’ singer Tim Lambesis charged with solicitation of murder after trying to hire hitman to kill his estranged wife ).
