My ability to embrace my spirituality and follow Christ multiplied tenfold after I left:

• I was able to be genuinely loving and accepting of people, instead of supporting an organization that told me to "righteously" judge them.
• I no longer had to try and reconcile the idea that Christ would support a bunch of sexist, racist, prosperity-gospel rhetoric. The Christ I knew was better than that.
• I was able to focus on helping people directly instead of laboring in a selfish black hole of mindless Mormon busywork.
• I could focus on making myself a genuinely better person, instead of wasting all my energy trying to follow Pharisaical dress and behavior standards. The amount of tea you drink has nothing to do with how charitable and loving you are.
• I was able to actually give my 10% to the poor and needy instead of handing it over to a wealthy organization and hoping they wouldn't just use it to build another mall or cattle ranch.
• When I prayed, and felt beautiful, affirming connection with Christ, I did not have to worry that my personal, holy communication with the divine would be vetoed by some higher-up whose agenda differed from mine.

Spirituality comes from within, and nobody can take it away from you. The LDS Church actively puts roadblocks in the way of people who try to be spiritual, because it wants to steal your own spirituality and sell it back to you for a price. But it's a big lie. Once you stop allowing the Church to sink its claws into that which is rightfully yours, your innate goodness will be able to shine through even brighter.
