The Pentagon revises an abridged list of officially recognized religious affiliations after criticism from Latter-day Saint lawmakers, according to multiple outlets. Reporting says Utah U.S. Senators Mike Lee and John Curtis, both Republicans and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, challenged the Pentagon’s update that excluded their faith from a list of Christian religions. The revisions come after the LDS Church and its lawmakers argued that the omission mischaracterizes the faith’s Christian identity. Several sources report that the Pentagon acknowledged it made a mistake in the new religious list and then adjusted the classification to address the concern. The Independent and PBS NewsHour describe the change as bringing back broader debate over whether the LDS Church should be considered a Christian denomination. Forbes, ABC News, and the trade publications also characterize the episode as a backlash-driven correction to the military’s religious denomination classification system. Overall, all accounts describe the Pentagon’s action as a response to political and religious objections to how Mormonism is categorized.
