Survey Reveals Protestant Pastors' Views on Mormons: A Detailed Analysis

This report presents the findings from a survey of 1,000 Protestant pastors conducted between October 7-14, 2010. Through telephone interviews with senior church leaders, the survey explores pastors' perceptions of Mormons (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) as Christians. Notably, three in five pastors strongly disagreed with this classification. The data was weighted to reflect the geographic distribution of Protestant churches, ensuring a margin of error of ±3.2% at a 95% confidence level. Insights reveal varying attitudes based on age, denominational affiliation, and education levels of pastors.
