Disaffiliation
Three out of four former members have a negative view of the Church as an institution but maintain a neutral to positive attitude towards individual members of the Church.
Despite their disaffiliation, two-thirds of former Latter day Saints reported keeping their membership records with the Church. However, less than 8% expressed any interest in returning to church in the future.
