Imagine Dragons lead singer Dan Reynolds was raised in the Mormon religion - but he’s now revealed why he no longer practises it. Raised in a “really conservative” family, the rocker went to Brigham Young University - where he first formed the band - and went on a mission for two years to Nebraska. In a new interview with People magazine, he opened up about his complex feelings about religion and why he chose to leave.
He told the outlet, “There’s obviously parts of the Mormon religion that I feel pretty strongly are harmful, especially to our gay youth.” Reynolds, 36, founded the LOVELOUD Foundation in 2017 to support young LGBTQ+ people..
