My husband’s family is Mormon. I know they were some of the original settlers in Utah. I think his dad was raised in the Mormon church, but became an atheist. My husband was raised Lutheran. I think we’re both interested in the Mormon church because of his family’s background.

I tried to be an atheist for a while, but couldn't quite do it. Came crawling back.

If you read the stories of (too) many exmormons, many become atheistic as a reaction to the discovery that their faith is false and do not want to have anything to do with 'god' anymore.

***I think his dad was raised in the Mormon church, but became an atheist.***

I was watching LARRY KING LIVE many years ago in the early 1990s or late 1980s, when Madaline Murray O’Hair was the guest(before she took a dirt nap).

She make the claim that....”The best atheists are former Mormons and Catholics.”

I have been called out by Mormons on this thread about this, but I watched the program and still remember what was said.
