Mormonism is a [[religion]] originating in the early 1800s as a product of the teaching of [[Joseph Smith]] and the Latter Day Saint movement. The term Mormonism is also often used to refer specifically to [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]], which is by far the most numerous and well-known sects claiming derivation from Joseph Smith. Mormons believe that the original teaching of [[Jesus Christ]] was lost after his death and that Christ's teaching and church was restored by Joseph Smith and his followers. It has an uneasy relationships with mainstream Christianity.
The religion's birth bore some resemblances to [[Islam]]. Both broke away from Christianity when a single Charismatic leader claimed the [[Teachings of Jesus]] had been corrupted. Christians also generally consider Smith and [[Muhammad]] to have been "morally bankrupt" according to the [[Bible]]'s view of objective morality. Both religions also promote polygamy , of which the Bible condemns.
