A mopologist. Which word is a portmanteau of "Mormon" and "Apologist." This refers to an individual who defends Mormonism.

It's a term of abuse used as a dog-whistle by a certain kind of bigot. Some bigots use "kike," others use "nigg*r," still others use "spic," and yet others use "mopologist."
You see, the howls of "racism" raised by you and your fellow hyenas demonstrate either gross ignorance or cynical dishonesty.
So, which was it in your case?
I’m guessing this is projection due to feeling guilty, because Russell McGregor engaged in incredible acts of racism and bigotry in his earlier post (see OP). As much as I disagree with many of the lds church positIons, I would have to argue that McGregor speaks for himself alone and NOT for his religion in the insane level of racism, bigotry, and all around, generalized hate for his fellow human beings in his posts. What a sad and damaged creature he is portraying. It is heartbreaking that defending a religion would push a person to such depths of hate and depravity.

On what basis is he stating that he belongs to a disadvantaged minority group. Either here in the US or in his home country. Interestingly enough most of the basis of feelings like his lies in the thinking that the LDS church is somehow “Israel.” Which really in itself religious bigotry by stripping that identity through appropriation from today’s ethnic Jews.
I am not impressed with his use of the victim card.
As far as the word Mopologists it is a suitable description for the type of LDS apologetics those individuals are engaged in. Which is the intellectually dishonest type. And no these type of individuals do not make up the majority of the LDS apologetic/acedemic community.
I can see this new thread turning into a kiwi57 comments Hall of Infamy. There’s just SO. MUCH. CONTENT. It’s too bad disqus doesn’t have a better search feature. It’d be interesting to review Russell “I use the hard R” McGregor’s thoughts on hot button topics.
Kiwi57 loves to play the victim card the most over there. However, I don't think he does it right. He is too angry when he uses it. He's too quick to call anyone who disagrees with his religious nonsense a bigot. It seems obvious that he is using victimhood as a weapon and not as a way to generate sympathy for the less powerful or truly harmed.

That is what happens when you have few other cards to use.

And then he is left just using wildly inappropriate language, which NO ONE finds acceptable, and which I am sure horrifies many a casual reader, lds or not. Not a smart strategy for Peterson to leave standing.
The Mopologists have an abysmal track record on the topic of race, and "Sic et Non," of course, has been a place where some of the worst of it has appeared. (I wonder if others remember an early post by Dr. Peterson--when the blog was still in its infancy--where he argued that contemporary U.S. blacks should be "grateful" for slavery, since it has enabled them to live in the USA rather than Africa?)
In any case, it's probably worth noting that Pahoran/Kiwi's remark is being allowed to stand at the same time that the National Guard has been activated in Utah in response to demonstrations over George Floyd's death.
