: You're an active Mormon? I think by definition (by having mentally left the Church) you are an inactive Mormon. Simply being "on the books" doesn't make you active. It is further doubtful that your "activity" would be persist if those views on Scripture were made known to the Bishop.
I was a non-believing, "active" Mormon for many years. I realized several years ago that most of what the Mormon Church teaches is pure myth, but I continued to participate actively for some time after that. There are far more people who do this than you can possibly imagine. Just because it doesn't fit your tiny little world of thinking doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. FWIW, I also have known several people in leadership positions who are fundamentally agnostic when it comes to the Church.
Live with it. It happens.
