Yeah, I think the religion will keep him out of the running. Too many people think we’re not Christian or that we’re a cult. I watch “Big Love”, I think it’s hysterical, but then I know the difference in what they practice and what true Mormonism is. Some shows have shown a bishop who lives across the street who is suspicious of them and they’re afraid he’ll turn them in to authorities, but probably most people who watch think they’re mainstream Mormons.
I’ll tell you several co-workers watch that show and they thought they were Mormons. One went so far as to say “the name was changed to Fundamentalists to prevent lawsuits by the Mormon Church”.
