Those are the findings of a new Pew Research Center poll released a month before Romney is set to become the first Mormon presidential nominee of a major political party.
The survey found widespread misgivings about the Mormon religion.
Nearly two-thirds of non-Mormons see Romney's faith as very different from their own. Just half consider it a Christian faith.
Despite that level of discomfort, the poll shows Romney is still locked in a very close race with Obama. The survey also found that those who know Romney is a devout Mormon say they are comfortable with his religious beliefs.
Admit it, you (and tons of other republicans) are talking to hear yourself work up the gumption to vote for a bishop in a religion many mainstream Christians have labled a cult.
Meanwhile, you are refusing to vote for a person who has repeatedly defended his personal faith, which happens to be Christianity, against accusations of being a muslim or other.
Get ready to swallow hard: hypocrisy is a bitter pill.
