Home Opinion Mormonism is having a (bad) momentWhen it comes to the countless false religions and “isms” out there, I don’t think you can find one that’s more of a head-scratching, how-could-you-fall-for-this belief system than Scientology. Although Scientology takes the top spot in my list of demonstrably false religions on the planet, Mormonism is right on its heels in my number two spot. And in the same way, Scientology has had a rough go of it in the past 10 or so years, with documentaries like “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath” calling attention to the bizarre beliefs and corruption of the “church.” Mormonism is having a particularly bad moment right now. Being somewhat digitally sucker-punched by all the testimonies of those fleeing Mormonism, the Church of Latter-Day Saints is now racing to counter their online narrative and momentum. Grenfell and others like her have poured fuel on the fire of the broad membership crisis Mormonism has been battling for a while.
