I disagree - a man’s path to faith, and the faith it leads him to, reflects upon his character. The Mormon religion has a background ripe for “higher criticism.”
Apparently you aren’t not aware that our Founding Fathers were not all Babtists, in fact, few if any were. They were often from Churches that would be considered eccentric by today’s standards. I think the Mormon Church has been a wonderful tradition to our History as a Nation. I see no reason why to knock them, they have wonderful patriotic families. Is there something wrong with that?
