I grew up as a devoted Mormon girl who loved God, read my scriptures daily, and prayed constantly. When my faith fell apart, I faced a choice: to believe or not to believe (that was the question).
In this video, I explain why I ultimately chose atheism over Christianity, what broke my trust in divine revelation, and how I found peace without God. From unanswered prayers to biblical sexism and moral contradictions, I share the reasoning that led me here, and why I still leave room for new evidence and ideas.
