There were two strong forces of that moment in America: Spiritualism and Free Masonry. Smith Jr stole them both and mixed them.
After the death of Smith and “Brigand” Young (see Mountain Meadows Massacre and Fancher Party) I have little to complain about Mormons.
Is their religion crap? yes. Is it different from other religions? Nope.

I agree, you could easily call strict, bible believers "a cult". I was at a service at a strice Baptist church where a preacher said TO CHILDREN they were going to hell if they didn't follow the bible exactly. Extremism can be with ANY religion, and a cult-like atmosthere can be achieved in any of them also.
Can anyone dare say the Jehovah Witness religion is not "cult-like"? I believe they are Christians.
