摩门教(Mormon)
耶稣基督末世圣徒教会成员，或是与其密切相关的教派（如重整耶稣基督末世圣徒教会）。由斯密约瑟创建，他自称从天使那里领受写有上帝启示的金页片，1830年他将这些页片上的铭文编成《摩门经》。斯密约瑟和其教徒既接受《圣经》，也接受《摩门经》的神圣铭文，但却和正统的基督教大相径庭，尤其是他们认为神是从人变来，人可以成神。其他独特的教义包括相信人的灵魂在生前已存在，等待出生；经过有追溯力的洗礼使死者获救赎。这个宗教因实行多偶婚制而臭名昭着，尽管1852～1890年间官方禁止实行一夫多妻制。斯密约瑟和其教徒从纽约的巴尔米拉迁移到俄亥俄州、密苏里州，最後到达伊利诺伊州，1844年斯密约瑟被暴徒杀害。1846～1847年在杨百瀚的领导下，摩门教徒长途跋涉1,800公里到犹他州，建立了盐湖城。如今该宗教在全球有近1,000万名教徒，所有的男性成员都必须进行两年的传教工作，因此教徒人数不断增多。摩门教徒期望在美国建立神的国度，接受耶稣肉身的统治。
English version：
Mormon
Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or of a sect closely related to it (e.g., the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). The Mormon religion was founded by Joseph Smith, who received an angelic vision telling him the location of golden plates containing God's revelation; this he published in 1830 as the Book of Mormon. Smith and his followers accepted the Bible as well as the Mormon sacred scriptures but diverged significantly from orthodox Christianity, especially in their assertion that God has evolved from humans and that humans might evolve into gods. Other unique doctrines include the belief in preexisting souls waiting to be born and in salvation of the dead through retroactive baptism. The sect became notorious for its practice of polygamy, though polygamy was only officially sanctioned 1852-90. Smith and his followers migrated from Palmyra, N.Y., to Ohio, Missouri, and finally Illinois, where Smith was killed by a mob in 1844. In 1846-47, under Brigham Young, the Mormons made a 1,100-mi (1,800-km) trek to Utah, where they founded Salt Lake City. Today the church has a worldwide membership of nearly 10 million, swelled yearly by the missionary work usually required (for two years) of all male members. Mormons look forward to the establishment of God's kingdom in America, to be ruled in person by Jesus.
