Is It Mormon in America?

"Maybe it would be better to judge their commitment to a free political order by looking at their behavior instead of trying to square that commitment with outsiders' interpretations of their theology. In this case, Mormons have a long, bipartisan tradition of responsible secular governance: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (whose ascension doesn't seem to have caused any concern), Democratic Congressmen Mo Udall and Dick Swett, longtime Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch, and Romney himself don't appear to have taken all their cues from Salt Lake City."

This is one of the best articles I've read in the aftermath of the Slate and New Republic articles. I've felt very uncomfortable with the criticisms leveled at Romney, not because I share his religious persuasion, but because of the open hostility toward any religious belief embodied in those accusations. I can appreciate the need for secularism as much as the next citizen, but I feel like some of these articles have implied that no sincere religious belief is acceptable.
