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.

    Ex-mormon here.

    Technically Mormons can be considered Christian simply because they worship Jesus Christ.

    But back in reality, they’re a cult. Go check out the Mormon Stories podcast and on youtube. No affiliation, I just have a lot of respect for John Dehlin.

    So mormonism should be filed under the sequel Christianity 2.0
