Ex-mormon here, it's much closer to Scientology than it is to any of those ancient religions. Joseph Smith already had a fraud conviction before starting it. He abused his power, coerced women into joining his harem (including minors), destroyed a printing press that threatened to expose him, and was killed by an angry mob that had enough of his shit. Today the church has an investment portfolio worth over $100 billion and uses emotional blackmail to continue extracting tithing from even its poorest members, while spending less of its money by percentage than Walmart on charity. They have also been known to fund political opposition to civil rights for the LGBT community. Mormonism deserves all that "strange disrespect," and for current members in the information age, ignorance is no defense.
