It's actually the equal-but-opposite mirror image of Islam.

Islam says that God is so utterly transcendant that the only relationship you can have with him is one of a slave to his master. Mormonism says that God is so utterly un-transcendant that you can become a god just like him someday, if you follow the rules.

Both extremes are absolutely wrong, of course.

That’s an interesting observation. I guess I was seeing those two religions as generally claiming that Jesus isn’t who he said he was and relegating him to underling status. In Islam Jesus is a prophet and in Mormonism , he’s the brother of Satan.
