(5,237 posts)against Mormons, right wing Catholics too. This was done intentionally, not an oversight, despite what gets said.
I am assuming lots of LDS men and women join military after 2 year missionary service, and are probably really good at their jobs. This is going to get switched, I have to believe.

(6,117 posts)We have our own religious/political folks who say Catholics are not Christians.
Franklin (and Billy) Graham say Mormons are not Christians
According to them, Catholics are not Christians either.
"We need something like what Jerry Falwell did in the 1980s. We need a moral majority-made up of Christians, Jews, Mormons, Catholics and many others of faith-to come together to take a stand for our religious freedoms and rights."

(26,833 posts)at public school told me I was not Christian because my family was Lutheran. They said that they were taught that Catholicism was the only true faith and the rest of us were Pagans who faked and mocked Christianity.
However, in my Lutheran Sunday School, we were NOT taught to regard other Christian denominations as unChristian. Just different expressions of faith.
That was in the 1950s. AFAIK, today Catholics do not consider other Christian denominations as Pagans.

Evangelicals do not like Mormons, they think they are a cult. They are down near the bottom of the list with Atheists.
I told my golf buddy, a Mormon Repub. this was a year ago. Let him know that he better be careful, because all that hate he hears on Fox, if they get by the liberals, they will be at the top of the list of targeted groups.
