DoD tweaks organized religion list after complaints of Latter-day Saints snub
The Pentagon revised its list of recognized religious denominations after criticism from Utah Republicans, including Sen. Mike Lee, who argued the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) should be classified as Christian. The Pentagon initially excluded LDS from the Christian list, leading to backlash, and later updated the list to remove the 'Christian' label from denominations.
