Yes, I was raised as a strict mormon, and remained so until after the mission. The choice to go to BYU was mostly financial however. Even when I was a believer I thought the area might be a little too closed minded, and lacking in diversity. I don't regret my decision, mostly because of the money I've been able to save, and the great education I got.
So what is it like for your kids in the school system? I imagine that might be a little interesting, although kids tend to be more accepting than adults.
