Preparing for school took a different turn for thousands of teenage Mormon students who, some 12 hours earlier, had learned of the death of their Church president, Gordon B. Hinckley.
The students responded to a flood of text messages from teens in at least six states, suggesting they arrive at school in their “Sunday best,” rather than their accustomed jeans or other casual clothes, as a symbol of respect and honor to their deceased leader.

This is Mitt Romney’s Faith in America Speech
I think his explanations about how he feels about religion in America reflect pretty well how most Mormons feel about it. They are generally tolerant of and support the agency of everyone to worship how, where, and what they please.
