I never said the beliefs become more rational, just that the sense of morality it supports modernizes.
And really, every religion seems completely insane to outsiders. Mormonism is not particularly worse than any others, it's just easier to trace its roots, which makes it seem less likely. I'd have to say that Scientology is an exception here though. That is just so completely out there. Technically, it's no more unlikely than any other religion, it's just that it has so little in common with anything else that it's perceived as being worse.
