There’s been a lot of discussion over what the primary will be like with two Mormon candidates (Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman). But The Salt Lake Tribune’s Thomas Burr reports that Huntsman may be significantly less rigid and devout in his practice of the Mormon faith than Romney:
In a 2010 interview with Fortune magazine, Huntsman, then serving as the U.S. ambassador to China, talked briefly about his personal faith, with the magazine terming his Mormon credentials “soft.”
“I can’t say I’m overly religious,” Huntsman said. “I get satisfaction from many different types of religions and philosophies.”
Huntsman is raising one of his two adopted daughters, Asha Bharati, in the Hindu faith in which she was born. Another daughter, Abby Huntsman, was wed in the Episcopal-run National Cathedral, with the service officiated by the dean of the cathedral, The Rev. Samuel T. Lloyd III.
