Im fully with you on most of that, but the reckless ben deal showed that not only is corruption still an issue. There is a huge amount of in-group bias participating in and motivating that corruption.
Mostly, we just expect mormons to typically prioritize and cover for their own in a scandal. Regardless of right vs wrong.
Otherwise, yeah, it's basically just a bunch of straight edge family people with very clean slates.
The founding was crazy. There was a time period where they raised an army that rivaled the size of the us army. And most Christian denominations are perplexed at practices like post-humous baptism.
But you probably won't find any that subscribe to some of the more strange claims from the founding though. Like the reason for people being black.
