DoD tweaks organized religion list after complaints of Latter-day Saints snub
The Pentagon revised its list of recognized religious denominations after Utah Republicans criticized the exclusion of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from the Christian category. U.S. Sen. Mike Lee called the policy offensive and pressured the department to reverse the decision, which it did, removing the word 'Christian' from the list to avoid theological disputes.
