I'm sorry...was this a journalistic article? If so, it violates all tenets of objectivity and fairness and of basic research and verification of facts. If it's an opinion piece, it should be clearly labeled as such. And it smacks of hate speech. Where is the news value and what is the intent?
May I suggest a litmus test? Substitute "black" or "Jewish" or "woman" for the term "Mormon" and if it doesn't make your skin crawl from obvious bigotry, then maybe it is innocuous; otherwise you might want to seriously consider if it deserves a place on your pages.
