REASONS FOR LEAVING

While most exMormons leave for more than one single reason, the nature of this poll allows the selection of only one choice. The chart displays the choices that carry the most weight for each participant.
The options in this poll are taken from Dr. John Dehlin's research "Why Mormons Leave". The list from which these options are taken, along with a detailed description of what each one of them mean, is in a PDF document titled "A Comprehensive List of Reasons Why People Leave or Stop Believing in the LDS Church".
Feel free to refer to that document while examining this chart, as the link opens in a different tab.
