...technically no, but it might be incredibly awkward if you aren't Mormon.

I'm sure they would love to invite you along as a potential convert, but the program is heavily tied to doctrine as far as I understand, which isn't bad, just way more religious than Boy Scouts ever was. By that, I mean Boy Scouts had a secular aim with a religious flair, and the Mormon program has a religious aim with a secular flair. Self improvement is a major focus. They even have a similar program that teaches self-worth to teenage girls.

I've been out of the church for a while. Also, I'm not sure how formally structured or focused it is. It was new when I left.

Anyways, I'm not trying to discourage you. Mormons are super nice and they teach lots of wholesome things. They get a lot of things right.

I just don't literally believe their claims on the Book of Mormon anymore, which is a huge deal to them.

One other thing. If you want a cheap, good education for your kids, BYU is ~3k a semester as a 4 year university with one of the highest ranked business, accounting, and law schools in the west. They admit non-members and it's free from the leftist bint of pretty much every other college.

The only drawback is no drinking or fornication allowed (to get caught). Lots of families of other religions value that (especially Catholics and Muslims).

“ I just don't literally believe their claims on the Book of Mormon anymore, which is a huge deal to them.”

This is what I can’t get over. It sucks, too, because I love everything else about them.

That’s good info for BYU; I didn’t know that. I was thinking Hillsdale was the only option left haha.

There's also BYU-Idaho. My education was based as hell lol. I knocked out the mandatory religion minor studying abroad at their Jerusalem Center. I highly recommend for anybody. It was 8k for that semester. My two year mission abroad was 10k. Invaluable experience.

The funny thing is a lot of the science professors aren't literal believers, although you'll never get them to admit it. It's really not as bad as people think. Only the super soft majors suck, but those suck everywhere; it's just at BYU the zealots are in an organized religion instead of an informal cult (neo-marxism). Pick your poison.

Oh and the nursing program is excellent at both schools.
