An interesting comparison. If you conclude Mormonism is false (which I don't agree with, though I'm not Mormon), one must say:
Mormons are deceived about religion and reality, though they think they have the truth, and it's wholly to their personal and group benefit.
Non-Mormon atheists (mass media people) aren't deceived about religion and reality, they don't think anything can really be true, and it's wholly to their personal and group detriment.
It's actually a bit more complicated than than. Mormons believe they understand reality as it really is, and make no attempt to purposely deceive themselves. Non-Mormon atheists claim they know the truth, but at the same time purposely and constantly deceive and distract themselves through an array of entertainment products (because the non-Mormon "truth" is extremely demotivating, and comfort/pleasure is the primary motivation they cling onto as individuals).
