It's hard for me to take Sanderson seriously when he makes it clear his Mormon faith dictates his writing and worldview.
As someone who doesn't know much about Mormons, in what way does it effects his writing?
I don't have specific examples, but he's said it affects his writing himself. However, I have a lot of similar experience with how the LDS cult works and friends who were raised in it, and with that I can't reasonably trust anyone who aligns themselves with that religion.
