I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion but they’re way out in right field on this one. Everyone knows that African-Americans was and still is the most discriminated group in the US.

I'm a Mormon, and I disagree that Mormons face more discrimination than African-Americans. I don't think we do. On the other hand, I think we clearly face more discrimination than any other religious group in America. We are the only religion that has actually had a state law authorize its citizens to legally murder its members.

This discrimination is why Romney will never be president.

Why is that? I know very little about the religion but I don't base my vote for president on their religion.

Lmao try being a Pagan. It was a hanging offense for quite some time in colonial America.

If you follow the link to pewforum.org who actually did the poll, I didn't see anything about a comparison to African Americans. It's a long article so I may have missed it but, if it's in there some where, you really have to go out of your way to pick out that one state (to base the article on) out of all the others given.

Did you say the same thing when Obama won the nomination?

Nearly half (46%) say that Mormons face a lot of discrimination in the U.S. today – which is higher than the percentage that says the same about blacks (31%) and atheists (13%).
So what exactly is the Mormon equivalent of the KKK?

Do Mormons get favorable treatment in federal contracts?

Do schools (BYU excepted) recruit less qualified Morman students to meet an afirmative action target?

Do Mormons get special treatment (reduced qualifications demanded) to be municipal employees?

Does the federal government have special programs and grants for Mormons?
