I had a similar experience with Mormons earlier this year. There are lots of wild stories and rumors about them. I actually had conversations with several Mormons and we addressed concerns and issues about what is assumed and what their reality is. I ended up with a better understanding and relationships. There is still a lot of ground that we don't share, but I understand where they are coming from to some extent. I still don't get the underwear thing though.
I am all for letting others worship as they choose. I become uncomfortable when a religious morality crosses over to politics and makes their belief law. This is something that Mormons, Christians, Jews, Catholics, and Muslims have all done at one point or another.
