		Benson is the grandson of former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture and LDS prophet Ezra Taft Benson.
		Late in 1993, Benson very publicly left the LDS Church after claiming that its leadership was covering up his grandfather's senility and allowing church members to believe Ezra Taft Benson was still in charge of the church's day-to-day affairs.
		Benson and his wife, Mary Ann, initially left the LDS Church and claimed to have become "real Christians"; they have since left organized religion altogether, and Benson self-identifies as an atheist and publically takes a dim view of religious beliefs and those who hold them.
