I’m an agnostic

But I try never to make fun of other people’s religions.
For one thing, I can never be sure which one will turn out to be true.
But, I have to admit, before reading Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith, I had no idea that Mormonism was quite as wacky as it seems.
Plus, considering fundamentalist Mormons’ predilection for polygamy, I still don’t understand why the religion isn’t called Morwomen.
