Mormonism
Mormonism was founded in the year 1830 by Joseph Smith. There are about 12.2 million Mormons in the world today.
Mormonism is the unofficial name used for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and is a branch of Christianity. Since Mormonism is a branch of Christianity, Mormons do believe in the Bible, but along with it they also believe in the Book of Mormon, which is where the term Mormon comes from.
Mormons believe in a personal god who is worried about his children Jesus Christ is seen as the son of god who came to earth to preach the gospel, establish his church, and perform the infinite atonement. Mormons highly value marriage and family and do genealogical research, which is distinctive to this religion.
Mormons are distinguished from other religions by several factors. First of all, Mormons have active missionaries at all times. They also believe in modern day prophets. Mormons also have a strict diet that restricts the consumption of alcohol, tobacco, coffee, tea, and illegal drugs. Mormons are also easy to spot for the way that they dress.
It is also good to know that some Mormons are offended by the term Mormon, and prefer to be called Latter-day Saints.
