Mormonism

Mormonism (also called Latter Day Saint theology or Mormon theology and Latter Day Saint culture or Mormon culture) is a religion, ethnic group, movement, ideology and subculture originating in the early 1800s as a product of the Latter Day Saint movement. The term Mormonism is also often used to refer specifically to the theology and culture of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which is by far the largest and best-known religion among sects claiming derivation from Joseph Smith, Jr.. However, the LDS Church and other sects of Mormonism, such as the Community of Christ (the next largest organization), often disagree heavily on fundamental doctrinal issues. Therefore, this article is not intended to describe the beliefs of any particular Mormon denomination; instead, it is meant as a broad outline of the things in common between most people who trace their religions' beginnings to Joseph Smith.
