Baffles outsiders

I have no idea what is "Baffles" here ...

Outsiders mean that the religion was considered as "Outsider" ?

"... But if the Mormon people are better appreciated now than a century ago, the Mormon religion still baffles outsiders."
  

Top answer

" "Outsiders" would be people who are not members of the religion, or people who are unfamiliar with it.
