This is my current dilemma.
I used to be Mormon. And I know for a fact that the best chance I have of raising a happy, healthy white family is by essentially pretending to be Mormon again. Would it be worth it? Perhaps.. I would just feel so wrong.
Side note.. If one were to believe that there is an inevitable collapse, then being around Mormons is definitely your best bet.

Why do you say that?
One thing I've often reflected on, is I suspect probably a very high percentage of religious leaders - pastors, priests, imams, etc - aren't really believers at all, but either think religion is helpful to the masses, or are just con artists.

Because they have one of the highest white birthrates and they attempt to preserve white culture. Both Mormonism and the Amish are very independent and will likely do very well in the case of a collapse due to having having a more agrarian lifestyle.

Most Mormons are basically "preppers". It's part of the religion.

And I agree about your point regarding religious leaders.

I don't live in an area where the make up of the population is mostly Mormon. I really doubt you would have any problems with Mormons trying to convert you. In the end, they are just like everyone else. Most are conservative in nature and mind their own business. Once in a blue moon, as you got to know some of them they might mention something related to religion to try and encourage someone to visit their church. But I highly doubt any experiences you would have with Mormons would be as negative as you think.
Nothing you wrote was offensive to me. The reasons you previously mention were the same reasons why I stopped going to church.
