Mormonism Mormonism is a term to describe religious, ideological, and cultural aspects of the various denominations of the Latter Day Saint movement, and specifically The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The term derives from the term Mormon, often used to described those who believe in the Book of Mormon, a sacred text that has been added to the religion's Biblical canon in addition to the Old and New Testament. The book describes itself as a history of several pre-Columbian groups, many of them Christian, who left their record on Golden Plates, later to be translated in 1829 by the religion's founder Joseph Smith, Jr. Today, the term Mormonism is most properly or commonly used to describe aspects of the Utah-based LDS Church, and not cultural Mormons or any splinter groups practicing polygamy, whose adherents embrace the term despite opposition by the LDS Church.
