  • EX-MORMON REDDIT NARRATIVES of DECONVERSION by Lesley
    THE BROKEN SHELVES: EX-MORMON REDDIT NARRATIVES OF DECONVERSION by Lesley Rivera Wright A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Religious Studies Charlotte 2021 Approved by: ______________________________ Dr. Sean McCloud ______________________________ Dr. Joanne Maguire ______________________________ Dr. James D. Tabor ii ©2021 Lesley Rivera Wright ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT LESLEY RIVERA WRIGHT. The Broken Shelves: Ex-Mormon Reddit Narratives of Deconversion (Under the direction of DR. SEAN MCCLOUD) What are the reasons ex-Mormons give for why they leave their religion? This study identifies what causes Mormons to lose their religion—or to use an ex-Mormon parlance— causes their shelf to break, by analyzing online deconversion narratives posted on the exmormon subreddit forum from 2015 through 2020. Concurring with Dehlin, Brooks and Riess, ex- Mormons give a variety of historical, doctrinal, personal, and social reasons for why they left. This study additionally shows that they say they leave due to the current LDS administrative and ecclesiastical leadership and what they are learning on the internet, including ex-Mormon online communities like Reddit. This study suggests that the recent institutional changes enacted by the current LDS leaders are causing Mormons to doubt and reject these leaders. Furthermore, this study reveals that the growing influence of online media and ex-religious communities is causing a digital deconversion among Mormons. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express appreciation to my thesis committee, who have been integral to the development and completion of my thesis.
