At The New York Times, the philosopher Simon Critchley writes about why he came to appreciate Mormonism, and how he is troubled by his liberal New York friends’ blatant anti-Mormon sentiments. Critchley sees Mormonism’s theology as American, democratic, and “properly and powerfully post-Christian,” a little understood, but important development. He writes, “In the context of you-know-who’s presidential bid, people appear to be endlessly talking about Mormonism, but its true theological challenge is entirely absent from the discussion.”
