(and I'm related to a LOT of them) hate Mormons. Virulently.

They say they aren't "Christians"...but several of them say that about Catholics too. So, this is unsurprising to me.

Anyway, once they declare the US a theocracy, there will be a knock-down drag-out fight over which brand of right-wing religion wins the government-approved label.
