This is clearly counting Mormons as Christians here, despite their significant divergence

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Probably because that "significant divergence" isn't enough to make them not Christians. Joseph Smith's bible fanfic might be as ridiculous and idiotic as he was but that's not enough to distinguish it from the previous iterations.

Usually adding a new prophet gets you a separate category, in abrahamic religions.

And sometimes a bad Twilight fanfic gets turned into a book and a couple movies. Doesn't happen for them all.

Not really. It's basically as divergent as islam. Mormonism isn't even monotheist.

No, they're True Christians.

Not sure why you got downvoted... They believe they are.

Of course every religion believes they are the "true" ones.
