LDS, Mormon and the loss of young members? Reported in the Salt Lake Tribune...?

People are getting smarter now and have access to tons and tons more information than they did just 20 years ago. With the Internet, all sorts of information about the LDS church can now be found. Not only that, people are exposed to more different types of religions/ideas. It makes it easier to see the flaws that are in Mormonism because people can compare Mormon doctrine with other people's thoughts/beliefs.
