"One of the fastest-growing religions in the world today is Mormonism. A "Mormon" is a member of any of several denominations and sects, the largest of which is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). These groups trace their origins to a religion founded by Joseph Smith in the United States around 1830. The religion these churches practice is often referred to as Mormonism. Today, there are over two and a half million Mormons, the great majority of whom live in the mountain states of the U.S., especially in Utah."
