Mormon

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, is a Mormon. So is former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, a Republican. Go figure.

Most of the people in Utah and Idaho are Mormons, along with a lot of folks in Nevada. They own the state of Utah, which is supposedly not a theocracy.

They're kind of like the Amish except that they really like cars and stuff like that and they have some really big cities. Some of their cities are full of nothing but massive car lots that they like to call "Bountiful."

Officially, at least, they now say that they believe in one-man/one-woman marriage, but some of them take exception to the "one-woman" part of all that.

History
The LDS Church (which is what missionaries call it when they're trying to get into your house) was started by someone named Joseph Smith who was definitely not related to Will Smith.

He's kind of like Mohamed because he said that a whole new Bible-like book was revealed to him by someone named Mormon, who's supposedly a saint or angel or something like that. Mormon was served by a bunch of nincompoops who earned the nickname Moroni.

Did You Say "Moron"?
Some of their really important "latter day saints" are called Moroni which means a bunch of morons. Most of Smith's followers were called morons or moroni until Brigham Young led them to what he thought was the Pacific Ocean.

Young later found out that the Great Salt Lake wasn't the Pacific Ocean at all. He explained that he and his followers were so excited when they finally found that big body of salt water that everyone started celebrating and got drunk for days.

When they woke up with pounding hangovers, they noticed that there was land on the other side of the lake and realized it wasn't the Pacific, after all.

Young then ruled that his followers couldn't drink alcohol ever again. He was so embarrassed by the mistake that he decided to change the name of his followers from the all-too-appropriate "Moroni" or "Mormons".

Coffee worship
They apparently worship coffee because they call their religion the Church of Jesus Christ of Latte Day Saints. They don't let so-called "Gentiles" into their big, gaudy "temples" so it isn't known exactly ...

Update: Hate coffee
It turns out that the name of their church is actually Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. They don't worship coffee. In fact, they're not allowed to drink caffiene in any form.
