Mormons feel misunderstood but say their religion is gaining acceptance

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gather around the Mormon Salt Lake Temple in early April 2011 in Salt Lake City. According to a new Pew Forum poll, most Mormons feel their religion is not well understood but say people are becoming more tolerant of their beliefs.

WASHINGTON - Mormons in the United States might be getting more attention these days, but they have mixed views on what this attention means.

According to a new Pew Forum poll, most members of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints feel that Americans don't know enough about their religion, but they also think the public perception of them is becoming more positive.
