Mormon leaders, military veterans and elected officials reacted with anger to a new Department of Defense policy that does not consider The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be a Christian religion as part of a wider effort to cut down the U.S. military’s list of recognized faiths.

“The Pentagon’s decision to list The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints apart from other Christian faiths is wrong and needs to be corrected,” Republican Rep. Mike Kennedy, of heavily Mormon Utah, wrote on X on Sunday.

Can Jehovah's Witnesses and Scientologists count?

I follow this Mormon mommy blogger, for years now, simply for the hell of it, and the family normally vote for Republicans, but they held their nose and voted for the Democrats the last three elections simply because of Trump. It would not surprise me if several Mormons did that, he's kind of extreme for a lot of them.
