For what it's worth, although I agree that the words are uncivil to non-Christians, I have heard the words often enough, in context, to understand that it's generally meant as a condemnation of Christian churches who do not have Christ at their center. It's not a phrase I particularly like. I think substituting God would be better. But I don't think it's intended to be against non-christians.

Moreover, Mormons are, or are supposed to be, philo-Semitic. I was trained, as Joseph Smith taught, that Jews had their own covenant with God. A covenant that should be respected. I never heard anything remotely anti-semitic in church until I joined a Protestant church. Never. I was taught to respect and admire the Jewish people, who managed to maintain a covenant relationship with God despite dispersal and persecution.

I'm not saying there is no anti-semetism among any Mormon individuals, but they are going against the words of Joseph Smith.
