Mormon and rational is not quite ticking for me. I have many Mormon neighbors, and have been to activities at their church, which is about 2-3 blocks from Obama's Chicago house, and one of the Mormon mom's I know is working with an Interfaith coalition to support Immigrants from Syria to our community, so we have a progressive Mormon community.

There is an intersection with some aspects of Christian Nationalism that I see as being somewhat magical in their thinking. So, I can see how he can be delusional, I mean Mormons believe that they can handle child sexual abusers in their church with a talk with elders.
