So I am not a Mormon, or ever really considered myself one, but I was raised in a Mormon church and my oldest sister attended BYU. So kind of a neat game for me. I was baptized at 8 years old, but never (even at a young age) bought into the religion, specifically the North American spin and Joseph Smith. So I stopped attending at 16, when my parents gave me the decision. My sister obviously stayed with it and attended BYU, her first year Ty Detmer won the Heisman.

Anyway, super nice people, very family oriented, and the wealthiest church per capita in the world. Maintream Mormons don't practice polygamy, do believe in the Bible, just added another doctrine in, and they fund a high % of things like the Boy Scouts, etc...

I do clearly remember Mormon missionaries who served in Morgantown referring to the city as "Babylon". Which does make me laugh now...
