A new poll from the Pew Research Center shows how unfavorably Americans view members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Americans view Jews, Catholics, Protestants, evangelical Christians, Muslims and atheists more favorably than members of Utah’s predominant faith.
On the whole, the survey found that “35% of Americans express very or somewhat favorable attitudes toward Jews, while 6% express unfavorable attitudes. … Americans overall also express more favorable than unfavorable attitudes toward mainline Protestants and Catholics .” Fewer than half the respondents said they know a member of the Utah-based faith personally, that’s less than those who know an evangelical Christian, Jewish or mainline Protestant or Muslim .
Mormons, in fact, do not express “a net negative opinion toward any group in the survey, and are strongly positive toward several.”, which asked Americans their views of 35 religious groups, organizations and belief systems on a favorability scale.

Give it a couple more years, and a couple more public high school graduating classes, and that 23% will grow to 50% -- and then to more than half -- and then, one sad and sorry day, to a majority. If a majority of Americans don't believe America is the best, what does that mean for the future of America? Matt Lohmeier, author, public speaker and former military member, speaks about the need to keep faith alive and well in this country, else face a future of destroyed individual rights.
