I hope this doesn’t come across as disrespectful or dismissive of anyone’s experience—this is just something I’ve observed and wanted to share. From what I’ve seen, many of the people who remain active in the Church tend to be wealthy, successful, and part of large, seemingly happy families. Interestingly, some of them are fully aware of the historical and contemporary issues within the Church but still choose to stay.

In contrast, I’ve noticed that many who end up leaving seem to come from the upper-middle class or lower socioeconomic backgrounds—people like myself, who are just starting out in adult life after finishing school.

I’m genuinely curious—has anyone else noticed this kind of pattern, or is it just a reflection of my own limited perspective?
