text: anyone grow up mormon and leave the church? okay...so i grew up in the church,  and i left on my own accord when i moved out of my parents house.  any thoughts on why you left and how you are doing now..and what your new spiritual convictions are would be great! hi, grew up mormon, never really fit in.  i was baptized in three different faiths to kind of "wash the mormon off me", and now have no religion, struggle with the idea of a god at all.  i'm happier feeling responsible for my own life, and not trying to live up to artificial standards of goodness.  i'm married, have children, and i'm happy.
