• Mitt Romney is a Mormon, and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
(LDS).

• Mitt Romney is the fifth Mormon to try for presidency.

• Romney studied at a church sponsored University in Utah, Birmingham Young University.
  
• When he was nineteen years old Romney worked for two and half years in France as a Mormon
missionary and also assisted in managing the affairs of the mission. 

• Romney once stated that religion was quintessential to freedom without pointing to any
particular faith. 

• In his own words he said "Freedom requires religion, just as religion requires freedom.
Freedom opens the windows of the soul so that man can discover his most profound beliefs and commune
with God. Freedom and religion endure together, or perish alone."

• Comparing his stance to that of John F. Kennedy's famous address in 1960, Mitt Romney said
'Like him, I am an American running for president. I do not define my candidacy by my religion. A
person should not be elected because of his faith nor should he be rejected because he believes in
my Mormon faith and I endeavor to live by it. My faith is the faith of my fathers -- I will be true
to them and to my beliefs,"

• In his Faith in America speech on December 16th 2007, Mitt Romney said "No candidate should
become the spokesman for his faith. For if he becomes president he will need the prayers of the
people of all faiths."
