I don’t think anyone was framing Mormons as the good guys

Even by the standards of organized religion, Mormonism is very weird. Cf Ruby Franke. The early history is absolutely wild, and in Utah they still have tons of money and power and everyone acts like it’s just a normal thing.

Replace Utah with USA, and it's the same thing with a lot of shit.
