No matter how a religion is started, it must be judged by its current practitioners, and how that religion transforms them.
That is the "Red Jacket" standard, named after the chief of the Seneca.
By that standard, mainstream Mormons, or reformed Mormons meet a very high standard.
Some religions extend so far back in time that their origins are lost to us. The "Red Jacket" standard is fair to all religions, both those of ancient origin, and those of more recent extraction.
