The hatred nationwide against someone who is Mormon is all too similar with 1960 with Catholicism and JFK. Religious bigotry is alive in the 21st century.

Here is an interesting Gallup poll conducted in the early stages of the 2008 presidential election (February 9-11, 2007, to be exact). To select a few highlights…

5% of Americans said they would not vote for any Black candidate.
7% said they would not vote for any Jewish candidate.
11% said they would not vote for a woman.
24% said they would not vote for a Mormon.
42% said they would not vote for a 72-year-old.
53% said they would not vote for an atheist.
