It is certainly more dangerous than other ones. It's been the guiding principle of the Mormon Church since the days of Joseph Smith and Bringham Young to become powerful enough to overthrow the United States of America and set up a Mormon Theocracy. And, they've worked diligently towards this goal ever since first by instituting polygamy to swell their numbers so that they would have a sizeable population which is the core idea that they took from The Old Testament, then by aqcuiring their own state that they murdered other people in cold blood (
to keep them out of, then doing away with polygamy for the sole reason that they couldn't become a state if they kept it
( although many members of the LDS hopes that it comes back some day and as pointed out in John Krakauer's book Under "The Banner of Heaven: The Story of a Violent Faith"
( http://www.amazon.com/Under-Banner-Heaven-Story-Violent/dp/1400032806/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340461022&sr=8-1&keywords=under+the+banner+of+heaven ) members of the FLDS church still practice polygamy in Utah and many times when District Attornies go after them for it, they're not re-elected to their next terms ); to the expansionist campaign that they practice today wherein they try to present a "Leave it to Beaver" image of Americana and Harmlessness to the outside world while at the same time they fire any professor at BYU that seeks to reveal elements of Mormon faith and history to other members of the church and the general public at large. Plus unlike every other church in America, the Mormon faith has a long history of keeping tabs of the most minute elements of the lives of Mormons and Ex Mormons as Cult Researcher Richard Abanes points out in his book "One Nation Under Gods: A History of the Mormon Church"
( http://www.amazon.com/One-Nation-Under-Gods-History/dp/1568582838/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1340461373&sr=1-1&keywords=one+nation+under+gods ).
As Styxhexenhammer points out in his video on Mormonism
Mormonism is the most dangerous religious cult in the United States both due to its wealth and because most of its members are Fundamentalistly inclined whereas many members in other denominations have liberalized to a degree.
It remains the goal of Mormonism to use its influence politically and financially to guide events in America to a fulfillment of Joseph Smith's White Horse
Prophecy (
so that the Government of the United States becomes a Mormon Theocracy.
No less of an authority than the Yale Professor of Literature and Religious Studies Harold Bloom said in his book "The American Religion"
( http://www.amazon.com/The-American-Religion-Emergence-Post-Christian/dp/0671867377/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340463151&sr=8-1&keywords=the+american+religion )
from the mid 1990s, "I tremble with fear for the day when a Mormon may become the President of the United States," and more recently about Mitt Romney, " A Romney Presidency would mean a strengthening of theocracy in America."
