Does this help? :
quite a few Mormons when they falter in their faith move on to atheism, so you're definitely not unique in your experience
I (and maybe quite few others here) upon close examination of the (historically amazingly variable) tenets of Mormonism find it to be an especially false religion
Using nothing more than materials in the Mormon archives or that have been publically released by the Mormon hierarchy, it is absurdly easy to demonstrate Joseph Smith had tremendous difficulty in keeping all his lies straight
There are definite indications that members of the current Mormon hierarchy are quite aware that maintaining any sort of façade they are administering a 'true' religion is impossible (if they ever allowed themselves to be pressed upon the issue), and among that evidence is the otherwise inexplicable denial of permission to review many historical journals, records, publications, diaries, and letters held in their archives. You can look at anything you want in the archive IOW, as long as it has been thoroughly and rigorously vetted to insure it contains absolutely nothing that might confirm or even suggest there has ever been any hint at any contradiction, or controversy, or change in official church dogma since the church was founded.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
