He received his BA from Ashland University in Ashland, OH, where he studied Political Science, Religion, and English Literature.

Does Christian pop-culture embrace Mormon product too, so long as its not explicitly Mormon? Glenn Beck, Prop 8 support, a Mitt Romney presidency, etc. Part of Mormonism’s huge selling point (at least with the evangelists that came to my door) is the great compatiblism between Christian and Mormon (pop-)cultural leanings—and how Mormonism offers a more thoroughly thorough version of what mainline Evangelicalism is already promoting/creating.
