!Christians sounds like this is the one and only time the !Mormons smoked your asses
An equally-valid historical contender too the current mainstream Mormon church was once called the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Like, infinity years ago it changed its name to The Community of Christ, for the same reason as the Anglicans. !lutherans!calvinists
The current mainstream Mormons have rebranded a lot of their material. They ditched the old missionary lessons for a new play book. They ditched 3-hour church for 2-hour church.
They ditched a thing called "Home Teaching" but then kept doing the same thing under the new name "Ministry."
They talk much less about how God has a Wife by scribbling her, and capitalized plural God pronouns (They/Them), out of the printed Sunday School lesson materials and just left God instead, respecting His capitalized singular God pronouns (He/Him).
!atheists Religions consult Madison Avenue marketers to rebrand their product for new consoomers. Nothing to see here.

>LIKE, INFINITY YEARS AGO
The RLDS changed their name to Community of Christ in 2001, this is younger than most zoomers, but they still own the "RLDS" copyright for historical and legal purposes, here are some more bussypilled fun facts about the Community of Christ (CoC, very apt abbreviation for this topic! )
The "Brighamite" LDS Church from Utah became the conservative branch of the LDS Movement, whereas the RLDS/CoC became the progressive branch, in fact they went full-fricking Tumblr lol, they now bless same-s*x marriages, ordain foids, had a "diversity"-related divine revelation in their edition of Doctrine and Covenants, recently chose a foid as future Prophet-President, and their current Prophet-President acknowledged his huwite privilege on his Mormon Stories interview back in 2015 when the "check your privilege" meme was hot, since the 1980s, their insistence on getting more and more like Tumblr and Reddit has resulted in like half of their active members quitting to form their own churches, now known as the Restoration Branches, there is a reason why even Ex-Mormon turbo-idpol redditors love them, since they focus on political virtue signaling and liberal activism first, and spiritual matters second.
It is almost poetic how the Church that was founded and led by the children and grandchildren of Joseph Smith ended up becoming the living embodiment of this meme:
They are also Trinitarians (something extremely rare in the LDS Movement even among non-Brighamite denominations), reject all of that bizarre polygamous gods from outer space and Book of Abraham autism, state that only the Bible is their full source of doctrine and belief in the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants is not a requirement for salvation, their position on the BoM and D&C is that they are only supposed to bring people closer to Christ, but that again, belief in them is not required for members nor salvation, and the Bible is their only source of authority, they allow non-CoC members to partake in worship services and temples, have recently gone in a total selling season by selling a ton of Mormon and Joseph Smith-related historical property, artifacts, texts, and even their extremely valued historical temples to the Utah-based LDS Church, and if all of this that I've cited wasn't enough, they even openly criticized the Book of Mormon - the book by their Prophet that is the foundation of their Church, as racist and pseudohistorical!
Effectively speaking, the Community of Christ has turned into a de-facto Mainline Liberal Protestant Church, like Episcopalians and the United Church of Christ, they are pretty much no longer members of the Latter Day Saint movement other than their origin and historical background, in being heavily related to the Smith family and (formerly, until literally just a few months ago) possessing a ton of extremely valuable historical artifacts and property related to Joseph Smith, as Joseph Smith's children, wife, and mother joined and led the RLDS in Missouri, it was his nephews and uncles who followed Bring 'em Young to Utah instead.
But even before the whole culture war identity politics stuff started, as early as like the 1920s, the RLDS as a whole has faced a ton of bizarre leadership decisions, and unpopular changes which resulted in large scale defections from their organization, dunno why but they were always a pretty dramapilled organization from its inception, when Joseph Smith's son Joseph Smith III became their first Prophet-President, the autism gene runs in the Smith family I guess!, recently their main source of growth comes from dissatisfied liberal Mormons, and presumably third-world countries, like how the LDS church itself and Christianity as a whole has become dependent on for steady growth of new members.
Brighamite, aka Standard Issue Mormons, tried too start their own kingdom in the Utah territory and failed.
They were so assmad that they forcefully drive out federally appointed judges, which caused the U.S. too send the Army.
In retaliation they sabotaged the Army supply trains. This is known and documented as The Mormon War.
The worst Mormon atrocity is when they did 9/11.
On September 11th 1957, Mormons slaughtered over 100 men, women, and children whole disguised as Indians, because they claimed that the wagon train had insulted the prophet Joseph Smith.
This is known as the Mountain Meadows Massacre.
They became McCarthyists later under fear that Communism will win

Truth.
Brighamite, aka Standard Issue Mormons, tried too start their own kingdom in the Utah territory and failed.
They were so assmad that they forcefully drive out federally appointed judges, which caused the U.S. too send the Army.
In retaliation they sabotaged the Army supply trains. This is known and documented as The Mormon War.
The worst Mormon atrocity is when they did 9/11.
On September 11th 1957, Mormons slaughtered over 100 men, women, and children whole disguised as Indians, because they claimed that the wagon train had insulted the prophet Joseph Smith.
