Using generalizations about an Institution is not ethical.

I don't understand how this is a breech of ethics. Could you please explain?

LDS church is a religion, with millions of members, so are the Moonies, JW's, Scientologists, Orthodox Jews.
I have no symphaty towards none.
Still you cannot make a blank statement like that. Doing so, you put everybody in the same category.
If I was a member, your Q. definitely would offend me.
I don't find such labels productive, because If i believed you, then I wouldn't hire any of these people to work for me.
If you live in America you should still believe in "the individual", not the CULT
