Quirks, culture, and questions from Mormonism — sometimes funny, sometimes serious, always honest. Deconstruct with satire. Reconstruct with meaning.
MormonQuiz is a project born out of both gratitude and curiosity. As a former Latter-day Saint, I’ve come to see that Mormonism gave me a rich language of faith, family, and belonging — along with contradictions, curiosities, and stories that deserve a closer look. This site holds space for both.
MormonQuiz is built around two guiding movements:
Deconstruction means holding Mormon beliefs, culture, and history up to the light — sometimes with satire, sometimes with irony, always with curiosity. It isn’t about bitterness, it’s about honesty. It’s about using humor, clarity, evidence and question-based inquiry to reveal the quirks, contradictions, and humanity within our heritage. Deconstruction is also empathy in motion — an attempt to bring faith, doubt, and the people caught between them back to the human scale.
Reconstruction: After laughter and light come perspective and peace. Reconstruction is what follows the questions — the slow work of rebuilding meaning and rediscovering spiritual wholeness beyond the walls of organized belief. It’s where critique turns into clarity, and where the fragments of faith become material for something truer, gentler, and your own.
MormonQuiz isn’t just documentation — it’s a personal map, a record of the journey from obedience to ownership, from certainty to sincerity. My hope is that those walking the same path will find recognition here, and maybe a little relief.
Deconstruction takes courage. Reconstruction takes vision. MormonQuiz celebrates both.
I didn’t write MormonQuiz to tear anything down. I wrote it because I couldn’t stop turning the questions over in my mind—examining why I once believed what I did and translating that tension into careful, sometimes uncomfortable questions (Deconstruction) -- while simultaneously my spiritual understanding quietly widened and was taking new shape (Reconstruction).
This project is a love letter to the curious — to those who still care enough to ask, who still feel the tug between reverence and reason. It’s for those who’ve stayed, those who’ve left, and those who aren’t sure what they should do.
Faith is beautiful and bewildering, tender and tangled. I spent years trying to make the pieces of my faith fit — the history, the doctrine, the feelings I once called revelation — until I realized that maybe the point wasn’t to make them fit but to see them clearly and simply as experience.
I believe in a Soul Contract and that I signed up for Mormonism. Organized religion worked for me, and then it did not. How could I be mad at something that helped me? Are we not here to experience, and doesn’t all experience work for our good?
Humor became my oxygen. Questioning became my prayer. And somewhere between the laughter and the heartache, I found something that felt like peace, realizing that I’m fine, you’re fine, it’s fine.
For now, I’ve chosen to stay anonymous. That choice isn’t about fear — it’s about choice, as it does me no good to have my name on this content. This content is like my avatar, something I leave behind as I exit the Mormon stage. I’ll always carry Mormonism with me though, it will always be in my experiential field. Mormonism has been a wonderful learning module and experience -- it has worked for my good.
All of my content is question-based, hopefully thought-provoking -- and serves to think about things differently.
If Mormonism gave you both your roots and your restlessness, you’re in good company here.
We question because it helps us to deconstruct and to see things differently. We reconstruct and rebuild because that is what we deserve.
With Love and Empathy, my sincere best wishes to you in your spiritual journey!
