Are Mormons spared from reality? Hardly

A common claim during this "Mormon Moment," in opinion columns and elsewhere, is that Mormons live in a bubble. Most specifically, Mormonism is said to have isolated a certain current presidential candidate from "real life" (during his missionary service, for example). So I've been reflecting upon my own experience, and on how my faith has — or hasn't — insulated me from the Real World.

But Mitt Romney's a Mormon! (Fear not)

In exit polls following Alabama’s tight March 13th Republican primary race, those who favored Rick Santorum over all responded that sharing their “religious beliefs” was a significant factor in their choice of a presidential candidate.

In the final question of the second presidential debate, Romney chose to focus on his Mormon faith. He said, "My passion probably flows from the fact that I believe in God. And I believe we're all children of the same God. I believe we have a responsibility to care for one another. I — I served as a missionary for my church.
