Utahn here. This is the Mormon capital pretty much, but I'm not a Mormon. I have grown up in this state surrounded by them, so I can confirm and say that these guys are more than often psychologically hurt . I envy their community, desires to start families and such, but to put it in light term, I can't believe their words at all.
That being said, nearly 80 percent of the people I've met in my state who are athiests, non-religious, pagan, or some mascara covered modern spiritual belief, in this state have grown up in a Mormon family, unhappy. They almost always say "I love spirituality but despise religion," which is depressing to me. I noted how it's as if Mormon kids on their phase-stage embrace and love the luciferian type of life. Luckily, I grew up in a more secular household, and ended up more religious than both my father (ex-catholic) and my mother (ex-mormon), which could be why I'm so open to religion and Christ.
Anyways, I notice that Mormonism tears at people's faith, and trust in God, once they leave the church, and go down a path of the modern Western American who completely indulges their life in materialism, sex, and cringe worthy habits. Of course there's that 20 percent who become religious in a "rock Jesus" church sense. And a lot of these people, when they're done with the shit carosel, become the "go to church once every Easter and Christmas-eve" type, which is just a why bother in my opinion.
I don't know how some of these people fall so hard out from the church, but it almost ALWAYS seems to be from Mormon families. Although I notice the same in Catholicism, baptists, but it seems EXTRA bad with the Mormons.
I ALSO got to point out a lot of these people who stay in the church are REALLY MISERABLE. You can see it in their eyes. Almost all of the Protestant converts of Mormons I've met say the same thing: "I felt I wasn't good enough for God and hated myself for that." It's honestly heartbreaking to me.
So yeah, I pray for Mormons, and their children especially.
