Glenn Beck wasn’t entirely correct when he said this weekend that most Christians don’t consider Mormons as Christians too. I would have said the same thing but this Pew Survey from 2007 claims that 52% of surveyed Catholics/Protestants/Unaffiliated Christians consider Mormons to be Christian.

It would be incorrect to state that “most” Christians do not view Mormonism as a Christian religion. A 2007 survey by the Pew Research Center reported that a majority of Catholics (52%) say that Mormons are Christian; 29% say they are not. Among all Protestants, more say Mormonism is a Christian religion than say it is not by a 49%-to-34% margin. This includes 62% of white mainline Protestants who say Mormons are Christians.

But a significant majority in each grouping still thinks we’re “very different.” I prefer “peculiar” but I can live with that.
