I was born and raised in the LDS church. Getting displaced to Utah post-merger was a factor in me deciding I didn’t believe it anymore. I raised two kids here and grew up in California. Feel free to PM me for my insights on the area/culture/base or for LDS to normal English translation (some words mean different things in a Mormon context.) having said that, the church stuff drives me nuts, but I still live here and have plenty of options. I must not hate it bad enough to uproot my family and leave.
