How reading the book of mormon led her to atheism: Madison Hatch
Madison Hatch talks about her experience within the Mormon church. She shares about receiving contradicting answers regarding polygamy, the women’s role in the church, and the lack of transparency with 10% tithe donations. Her own strong sense of justice and a school challenge to read the Bible as well as the Book of Mormon led her to leave the church and become an atheist.
Madison leaves us with great reflections about the importance of being self-sufficient and directly obtaining our resources from nature.
You can start a conversation with Madison about being self-sufficient emailing her to [email protected]
