Is it harder to enter a fundamentalist mosque or an LDS temple? Sounds to me like it might be the latter.

AFAIK Mormonism is a closed/secret religious society that requires strict obedience to the LDS president. That fits with what most reasonable people understand to be a cult (and I'm sure there are plenty of Mormons who realize it or try to rationalize the fact).

The LDS church was also founded under the prophecy that one day a Mormon would be elected US president in order that their church could take over the US government.

Progressives should not be facile toward religious cults in the name of political correctness. And if you are going to make any exceptions, definitely not with this one.
