If one's word isn't one's bond, there's all manner of bad things that fall out from that.

If I (lehavdil) believed as the mormons do I could not have made such an agreement. And it is cruel to ask people to violate their sincerely held religious beliefs without converting them to something else.
Unfortunately, too many Jews (even some Orthodox) are so hopped up on the single issue of "tolerance" that they support the most liberal chr*stians of every denomination, despite the fact that the ancient Biblical Jews are the very apotheosis of everything the liberals hate.
I am a Noachide. If Jews would stop playing the broken "tolerance" record and educate non-Jews in their true duties before HaShem, the True G-d, then there would be fewer followers of false "gxds" and false religions in the world, and fewer rituals such as this one.
