Sorry, wrong again. Hatch is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints, LDS, aka Mormon. Not an actual Christian church.
Details available with Google. Basically, Jesus is no more a divine
figure in LDS than in Islam. In fact, LDS and Islam share a number of
things in common with regard to the role of the various prophets and
seers.
I've known a bunch of Mormons, and "jeebus-talking" is not something
they do much of.
