Benson Boone, a 22-year-old singer, has revealed his detachment from his Mormon upbringing, stating he never experienced the personal revelations others spoke about in church. This confusion and frustration led him to share his feelings with a close friend who felt similarly. Boone emphasizes his desire for individual beliefs rather than strict adherence to one religion. Despite his divergence from Mormon doctrines like abstaining from alcohol and coffee, he shared that his parents support his personal exploration of faith, encouraging him to discover his own path.
Growing up, a lot of people at church would talk about these experiences that they've had and these personal revelations and feelings and voices. I never felt it as physically present as they did, and so I was always confused and frustrated.
I don't want to be a part of one religion. I have my own opinions. Some are from this religion, some are from this religion, some are from no religion.
My parents definitely have their own views, but when it comes to religion and God, they want me to figure it out on my own. And whatever I come to, and whatever I feel is right, that's what they want for me.
I just think for me personally, like, dude, I would die. Cause I have such an addictive personality. I feel like if I started, I would do it so much that my health would just decline and I wouldn't enjoy touring as much.
