I don't really like the term anti-mormon, and I almost never use it. It's like any other diminuitive insult term like 'homophobe' or 'bigot' - it's useful for nothing besides namecalling. I prefer "church critic" when talking about people that, well, are critics of my church.

A guy like you with honest questions probably doesn't even rise to the level of critic.

Again, welcome.
