Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds opens up about why he chose to leave Mormonism, even though his family still remains active in the church
Dan Reynolds, lead singer of the rock band Imagine Dragons, opened up about why he chose to leave Mormonism.
'There’s obviously parts of the Mormon religion that I feel pretty strongly are harmful, especially to our gay youth,” Reynolds, who founded LGBTQ+ focused non-profit LOVELOUD Foundation in 2017, told People. “At times I feel pretty isolated from my family, but I also love them and am close to them and see them, and there’s no animosity there. I’m on a different path. I have to love myself enough to follow my truth.
“ saw a lot of the harm that came from it for me personally, but it also seemed to work incredibly well for my family, and they’re all healthy, happy individuals,” he told People. “As I’ve gotten older, I'm not angry about it anymore. If something works for someone, that’s really wonderful and rare, and I don’t want to mess with it.
Reynolds and Volkman announced their split in April 2018 after 7 years of marriage. Two months later, he exclusively told Us Weekly that the pair were “doing good” after going their separate ways. “I think life moves forward and we’re doing good,” he told Us at the time.
