Romney to date has been instinctually shy about his Mormon faith in public, so I wouldn’t worry about him “pushing” that. The only reason he had to talk about it at the convention was because everyone said he had to “humanize” himself and show who he was and his personality. Of course, the left could go on a public anti-Mormon crusade and force him to respond.

I guess it would make sense that most of the personal time Mitt spent off the corporate clock was with other Mormons. An analogous thing is probably true for any person who is serious about his or her religion. When asked about where he or she spends the most time socializing, it will be with his or her faith circle.

That’s perfectly acceptable to most Americans, even those who disagree (as I certainly do) with what the LDS theologically teaches. You can be a perfectly nice, civilized person without needing to get theological matters right. If it goes no further it won’t hurt Mitt. If the LDS succeeds in hounding Mitt into making his candidate or presidential podium into a proselytizing pulpit, then social trouble will ensue.

If the Left does start taking swipes at Romney's Mormon faith, they will have walked into a trap. It will light on fire the religious faiths who do not like religious persecution and already see a trend coming from the Obama Regime to bully Christians. It would convince religious faiths that the Obama Regime is not their friend and it is time to pull the plug on them.
