One of the leading US Presidential candidates this year is Mitt Romney.  Romney belongs to a religion whose adherents all practically claim that they are Christians like most of the other citizens in the US; however, there is a significant portion of the population that thinks their religion is quite a bit more mysterious than that, and it has even been stated in some circles that Mormonism is actually a cult.

Do you think that Mormonism is a cult?

Mormonism isn't a cult, but many of their beliefs are pretty different from the normal Christian beliefs.

"The word cult in current popular usage usually refers to a new religious movement or other group whose beliefs or practices are considered abnormal or bizarre."

No. It's very, very different from the rest of Christianity to the point that it could very nearly be considered another religion altogether, but it's clearly and obviously not a "cult".

Its not inside Christian orthodoxy as far as I'm concerned.

Cult? Not really. I usually reserve that for Jehovah's Witnesses.

Mormonism is more closely linked to the Jewish faith than the Christian faith.

As a fervent atheist who has befriended a great many Mormons from swimming and water polo (all Mormons love aquatic sports), I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that LDS is not a cult (or, it's no more a cult than any other religion). I've always thought it strange that people view Mormonism as a cult. LDS is a church that praises tight community and family bonds, and promotes hard and charitable work.

It always seems to be the ignorant ones who raise an objection to Romney's Mormonism. In the end, it won't be a huge issue, I lived in Michigan when it came out that his father was a member of LDS (he was governor at the time) and it seemed to only be a scandal in the eyes of the media and those who thought their sect of Christianity was the only true one.

This is quite true. Mormonism can not be included within Christianity by any comparison. They conflict far too much.

In my book all organized religions are cults.

no.
