Mormonism may make a lot of Democrats uneasy, but my guess is that there are not that many Democrats that think Mormism is the religion of Mammon.

It has not been a big issue here, but I suspect the Reid/Romney difference may in part be because of differences in levels of commitment.
Romney is a former bishop in the Church and once headed the Eastern Mass. Mormon church; he was an advocate of a large and very visible tabernacle on Route 2 west of Boston. He has not shied from his religion, and would likely be the most actively religious President we've seen since Jimmy Carter.
Is Reid as prominent in the Church? I really don't know. But Romney is certainly much more Mormon than the Kennedy's are Catholic.
