SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - Controversial HBO talk show host and Barack Obama supporter Bill Maher referred to Mitt Romney's LDS faith as a 'cult' in a Twitter post on Monday.
Maher tweeted:
"Why even listen to #MittRomney on foreign policy? His entire FP experience is 2 yrs trying to brow-beat Frenchmen into joining his cult"

Maher is no stranger to criticism toward The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
In 2008, Maher produced the documentary
Religulous, in which he ridiculed many tenets of the LDS faith, mostly using scenes taken from evangelical Christian anti-Mormon films and interviews with two men who left the church.
Presumtive GOP nominee Mitt Romney is a life-long member of the LDS faith and served a full-time two-year proselyting mission to France in the 1960s.
Romney has been faced with the 'cult' moniker in reference to his religion in the past.
