I’m not a big Mitt Romney fan, but to say Mormons are not christians is, in my opinion, wrong. The name of the demonination is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This is from Wikipaedia:

Adherents to the church (usually called Mormons, Latter-day Saints or LDS) believe that Jesus Christ leads the church by revelation given to the President of the Church, whom they consider to be a prophet. They consider themselves to be Christians, but do not consider themselves part of the Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant traditions.

Mormons do not believe in the doctrine of original sin and they do not believe in the Trinity (they believe that the Son and the Father are not One). If you don't even know who and what the son of God is, I don't see how you can be a Christian in the traditional sense.

Like the Christian Scientists!

About Fred, though, in general most of these guys lead secular lives. Romney sure didn't take Mormon teachings very seriously until he decided to run for president.

As a Catholic regarding church attendance, a pretty clear standard is attending Mass on Sundays and other days of obligation. To miss one Sunday is a serious sin. For evangelicals, going to church is a much more nebulous thing. They're not celebrating any sacrament, they're just gettin' their prayer on.

1. Wikipedia is anything but authoritative. It has an extreme liberal bias.
2. What Mormons believe about themselves as being Christian is not nearly so important as what orthodox Christians believe. Mormons seek to eliminate their differences with the vast majority of Americans to make conversion easier.
3. Mormon doctrine is different in substantative critical areas than Orthodox Biblical doctrine.

Having said that, I would vote for Mitt in a heartbeat if he were the Repub candidate.
