One little correction, they don’t just wear the magic underwear to church, they wear them ALL the time. When I was Mormon, most LDS women wore their bras OVER them rather than under.
They are referred to as ‘the holy garments of the Priesthood’.
Onyx, I entreat you to learn more.
Historically, UTLM.org cannot be beat
Doctrinally, Mormonoutreach.org and MRM.org as well as IRR.org/mit
For personal stories, exmormon.org is the place to go to get into their mindset.
As always I, and several other ex-mormons here are available to answer questions.
Regarding the ‘magic underwear’ here is probably the best link...

I’m overwhelmed! This reads like a novel. I knew Joseph Smith was a delusional crackpot so I ignored the rest of it: “Live and Let Live.” They aren’t flying airplanes into our buildings or threatening to blow us off the map. I thought, “what is the harm?”
I’ve seen and read about those Polygamy freaks, but I’ve had very normal Mormon neighbors who just stored food.
