Though I’m sure the Mormons would cop to traditionalism calling a religion where the median man spent two years of his life in a foreign country insular is slightly odd, considering most Americans never leave their own country. Even aside from that cosmopolitanism Mormons have been state governors and been contenders for the presidency. Insular they are not.
