I have know some Morman families, the Ainge family was going through school during my years at North for instance.  They seem like nice people, very well organized, have developed a good program for helping homeless folks in Utah.   

Like all religions, they have a wide variation of real behaviors, just as any large group, (millions) will have.  They have a history of racial and gender discrimination  (they might say dicernment),  but my impression is that has weakened some.

 It's been good for white males status/authority (do women have to go on mission?).

I'n not sure why you would consider their theology any more relevant that other church's?   The do use a very authoritarian structure, and seek a lot of control over their congregation.    The authority part fits you pretty well, at least that's my guess, but I'm not sure why a person promoting the FSM would approve of Mormanism more than any other religion?
