Yes, Glenn Beck is a Mormon, that is, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Apparently searches for “glenn beck” and “mormon” are pretty common. In reading the afore-linked article, I decided to do a search for “glenn beck mormon” myself, and one of the links that came up is from the anti-Mormon site exmormon.org, which I’ve been to before and appears to primarily be made up of rantings from angry, unhappy people who claim that Mormonism ruined their lives.

Because we don’t like to have fun, that’s why! But seriously, there’s more to it than just that.
Mormons don’t drink alcohol because it’s a commandment of God to members of the Mormon church.
