There are likely a few million former members (or those who are technically members but not longer consider themselves to be) of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) currently living around the world. It would be impossible to list every religious persuasion that each currently adheres to, and it is likely that the list would include every religion!
Speaking from personal experience being acquainted with a few hundred former Mormons, at least half of them are either atheist or agnostic and not religious. The next largest group are those who have joined Mormon offshoot sects such as the Apostolic United Brethren or who now consider themselves "Independent Mormons", still believing the basic tenets of the faith but having disagreements with any organized groups. Quite a few others are now liberal Christians, most of whom attend non-denominational contemporary style churches. I know of several who have converted from Mormon to Catholic, as well as a few who have converted to Buddhism, some who joined New Age or Spiritualist groups, one who became Wiccan, and one who converted to Islam. I also know perhaps 5-10 individuals who have left Mormonsim to convert to a mainline or traditional Christian denomination such as Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, etc., although that group is much smaller than you might expect. I have read stories of former Mormons converting to Hinduism, Sikhism, and Baha'i although I have not met any who made that conversion personally.

Why do Mormons ask so many questions about themselves on this website?

Some Mormons about their own faith, because they are trying to better educate themselves, or see if others think the same way. This does not mean all of the questions about Mormons are asked by Mormons. Also, it is worthy of noting that there are thousands of questions about other religions on this site as well. People are curious, so they ask.
