I live in and visit some heavily Mormon areas (SE AZ and Casas Grandes, Chih), they certainly have a fascinating history.
I have a few LDS friends/acquaintances but have never really been close enough to discuss their religion personally (although my grandfather had closer friends and I am sure we are secret members because of them).
As an atheist I have trouble differentiating cults and religions anyway so the fact that LDS is so "new" and so expansive added to so much local history of the area I live makes it an interesting topic to think about.
