I’m not exMO, but exJW, so oddball fundie evangelical cousins. I look at it this way. If we can keep religion from impacting broader secular life through legislation, it’s a win.

The work of pushing these religious institutions to internally stop using their belief system to be bigots, will take place on the social front. Give the religions their little safe space so they stop using their numbers to pressure legislators to fuck up the laws for the whole country, and then take them to task in the court of public opinion for how their bullshit ideas hurt people regardless. It’s a battle these religious institutions are slowly loosing and they will either have to change or die off.
