A sailor was shipwrecked on a desert island for a number of years. Finally, he got a signal to a passing ship which sent a launch to investigate. The sailor met the launch and brought the rescue party up to his living area, which consisted of 3 huts.
“What’s this hut for?” the visitors asked.
That’s my house where I sleep & prepare my food.
“And the 2nd hut?”
Oh, that’s my church where I set up an alter and say my prayers.
“And what’s the 3rd hut for?” they asked.
Oh, that’s where I USED to go to church.

LOL!
I did some research on Mormons who leave the LDS church. I was interested to see how many came over to any of the Trinitarian denominations, Catholic or Protestant.
The sad fact is that most ex-Mormons become atheists. The fantastical teachings and poppycock notions found in the book of Mormon must really turn them off to any concept of the Divine, especially since Mormonism posits a god with a physical body who lives on a planet near a star. The relief felt by escaping the Mormon social straitjacket must also contribute to a reluctance to embrace a different faith tradition.
Teaching that North America was once inhabited by Jewish Indians and Aryan Hebrews doesn’t help, either.
