Mormons Make Great FBI Recruits

3. Mormons are overwhelmingly white and come from a cultural background of conservative patriarchal Christian whiteness which comports with the historical and present culture of the FBI.

You left out “heirarchical authoritarian”, but, yeah, that.

You're using Christian way too much to describe Mormons. I am pretty sure most Christians aren't going to see Mormonism as a plus.

Which is funny because most Mormons I know dislike the FBI specifically because their actions as of late are directly in opposition to their beliefs.

What did the FBI do?

By mainstream Christian standards, the doctrine is, quite frankly, "heretical", but members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the primary branch of "Mormonism") very much consider themselves Christian, have values that align strongly with many other Christian denominations, place Christ at the center of their doctrine, etc. In my opinion, culturally, we're a lot more Christian than the typical perception would suggest.

That being said, we've got our own offshoot groups that we don't consider "really Mormon", so I get where people are coming from on that question.

The FBI goes after folks like Cliven Bundy. Support for separatism is higher is rural regions, including where LDS are. The LDS Church speaks against nationalism specifically but - like everywhere - folks hear what they want to hear.

They shouldn't be considered christians, but in the voting booth, they vote for the same thing that evangelicals do.

"goes after" is a funny way to say "enforces federal law"

Selective enforcement depending on the political willpower du jour.
