Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are sometimes called Mormons because in addition to the Bible, we believe in additional scripture. One book of scripture is called the Book of Mormon.he church calls itself The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and has never called itself or asked to be called Mormonism.. This was nickname given us by people of other faiths who identified us simply by our use of the Book of Mormon.
The Church of the Latter Day Saints, also known as the Mormon Church, was founded in 1830 by Joseph Smith. Smith claimed that God had led him to a new set of scriptures called the Book of Mormon. Further, Smith espoused polygamy as part of his utopian society. Smith and his followers were persecuted in Ohio and the midwest. In 1844, a mob murdered Smith and his brother Hyrum in Illinois.
