This could be fun...
I'm an atheist who was raised in a very mormon household and have lived in many communities which are to some degree influence by the mormon faith, so I think the op painting with too broad a brush when it comes to mormons. In some communities questioning the church is very much frowned upon- I know because it was made very clear to me what kind of literature was ok to read and what wasn't due to it being "anti-mormon" or "of the devil". At the same time there are some places where mormon leaders have much more open minds. A few years ago I had meetings with a couple missionaries every week for about a year and all we did was question our own and each others views on the church/religion in general. In conclusion f*** BYU.
