"While we suggest that Robert Bellah's model of religious evolution has an implicit Protestant bias, the thrust of our paper criticizes Mark Leone's and Janet Dolgin's use of Bellah's scheme in their analyses of contemporary Mormonism. We contend, in contrast with Leone, that nineteenth-century Mormonism more closely approximated Bellah's notion of modern religion at the symbolic and action levels than contemporary Mormonism. Yet at no time in its history, least of all today, has Mormonism even resembled mordern religion at the organizational level. Only by neglecting the mechanisms of institutional control can Leone and Dolgin conceive of Mormonism as a modern religion." [Author]
