that "Mormons aren't real Christians." I'd argue that most fundamentalist Christians aren't Christians, either, based on the words supposedly said by Jesus Christ himself, but what do I know?

Bottom line is that Hegseth is one of those fundamentalist, dominionistic Christians. They think they are the only arbiter of what is Christian and what is not.

This is all silliness. The military should have nothing to say about the categorization of religions. In fact it is prohibited from doing so by the Constitution. So is Hegseth.
