Pentagon Removes LDS From Christian List

The Pentagon’s move to slash religious affiliation codes—from over 200 to just 31—has ignited controversy after removing The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from the Christian category. Utah senators warn this isn’t just about theology, but about government overreach: defining what counts as “Christian” undermines religious freedom protected by the First Amendment. History shows governments rarely succeed at regulating faith, and when they try, it erodes public trust. The real issue? The government shouldn’t be deciding who gets to call themselves Christian—it should simply record identities without judgment. Let faith define itself, not bureaucracy.
