I'm torn.

On the one hand this is a great thing for the homeless population of Utah and kudos to whomever made this happen.

On the other hand I feel like this is going to be used as yet another reason for Mormons to feel self-righteous and superior to everyone else - even if it's only to feel self-righteous and superior among themselves. "Look what our religion compelled us to do! See? SEE?!?! We really ARE the one true religion! We're so wonderful, AND we were right all a long! Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah!!!"

Maybe I'm being cynical but it's hard to get the idea that this is just piling on Mormon confirmation bias out of my head.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
