WASHINGTON—Highlighting a notable shift in the nation's religious landscape, a study published by the Pew Research Center on Tuesday indicated that more Americans were converting to Mormonism in hopes of getting their own Hulu series. 'According to our nationwide survey, more than 2 million U.S. residents joined the Church of Latter-day Saints last year to increase their odds of scoring a meeting with a producer from The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives ,' said study co-author Mark Woodward, who noted that the most frequently reported reasons study participants gave for their conversion to the faith were a yearning for spiritual fulfillment and the opportunity to go off on their supposed best friend for calling them a bitch behind their back. 'In an increasingly isolated world, the Mormon church offers these converts a sense of identity, community, and purpose, as well as a chance to ratchet up the drama. Additionally, we found that the Church of Latter-day Saints is directly leveraging this trend by encouraging their international missionaries to promise people around the world that they too could earn meal kit brand deals after getting breast implants and embroiling themselves in a TikTok swinging scandal.' The study follows a report last month that found millions of people were leaving the Mormon faith in an effort to catch the attention of the producers behind Mormon No More .
