Mormonism (Latter-day Saints)
Mormonism, or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is a Christian denomination founded in the early 19th century by Joseph Smith. It emphasizes Jesus Christ as the Savior, ongoing revelation from God, and the importance of family and community. Members believe in the Book of Mormon as another testament of Jesus Christ, alongside the Bible. They practice baptism, missionary work, and live by principles like service, health, and family commitment. Mormonism also teaches that humans can progress spiritually and potentially become like God. It blends Christian teachings with unique doctrines developed since its founding.
