Defense Department cut roughly 180 religion codes from previous list, with mostly Christian denominations remaining

Mormon leaders, military veterans and elected officials reacted with anger to a new Department of Defense policy that does not consider The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be a Christian religion as part of a wider effort to cut down the U.S. military’s list of recognized faiths.

“The Pentagon’s decision to list The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints apart from other Christian faiths is wrong and needs to be corrected,” Republican Rep. Mike Kennedy, of heavily Mormon Utah, wrote on X on Sunday.

    I’m not willing to entertain the zombie jesus story, I just recognize that one has actual history behind it and that early human civilization history helps explain it and that nothing explains this dumbfuck just making shit up.
