Utah Sens. John Curtis (R-UT) and Mike Lee (R-UT) criticized the Pentagon after learning that the Department of War’s revised list of religious affiliation codes does not categorize members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints under the broader Christian designation.

“Latter-day Saints are among the most patriotic, service-oriented individuals in our country,” Curtis wrote in a post on social media. “They are also unequivocally Christian—just look at who is in the name of the Church.”
