Well, it's a (slightly) tongue in cheek comparison. I wouldn't say SLC 'deserves' its Mormonism. I was lucky enough to be raised agnostic / atheist. However, my parents also taught me that I should never take entrepreneurial risks in life. Because of that, I wasted over ten years working in dead end corporate jobs. But did I really deserve that? By default, children inherit the beliefs of their parents. It's very difficult to break out of beliefs that you have followed for your entire life. If it took me ten years to figure out that corporate jobs were a dead end, imagine how long it would take someone to learn to think critically about religion when it claims their soul and essence are in jeopardy, or to break free of a culture that teaches women are inferior to men.
