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.

It's Mormons. There's also a ton of them at the federal level too.

    I dunno, this list shows multiple organizations that fall under the Catholic church with wealth in the 10s to 100s of billions.

    If you're talking monetary/liquid wealth then it is probably the Mormons, but the catholic church is much larger and older. They have been amassing wealth for a very long time. Though, functionally it is irrelevant. They both have the ability to wield massive political influence.
