Senator Reid talked of his conversion to the Church. One night his young wife came home from her job, where several Latter-day Saints worked, including a stake missionary who wanted to come and talk to them about religion. At that point they had zero religion and no apparent interest or background, but Senator Reid remembered that growing up in Nevada, the nicest kids in school were the Mormons.”

All he did was give 5 minutes of "testimony". Real convincing stuff; the atheist politician who found out half his constituents were Mormon and wanted to join the club...More BS from the King of manure.IMO.

I don't believe you understand the import of "Testimony" to Mormons.

From lds.org the official site of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints:

A testimony is a spiritual witness given by the Holy Ghost. The foundation of a testimony is the knowledge that Heavenly Father lives and loves His children; that Jesus Christ lives, that He is the Son of God, and that He carried out the infinite Atonement; that Joseph Smith is the prophet of God who was called to restore the gospel; that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Savior's true Church on the earth; and that the Church is led by a living prophet today. With this foundation, a testimony grows to include all principles of the gospel.

Emphasis added by me.... At least Reid has managed to make other members of "the one true Church" believe he has a Testimony.
