No problem. I respect the right of LDS and others to their religious beliefs. I'm not LDS or ex-LDS. Mormon history is just a topic that's interested me since the 1980's (among many other topics). I read secular history, the LDS Official History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the "Standard Works", and scholarly journals, both faithful history (Neal A. Maxwell Institute, FARMS, BYU) and non-faithful/academic history (Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought and Sunstone), and books from Desert Books, University of Indiana Press, and Signature Books. It's an interesting blend.
Mormonism is the only American contribution to the world's major religions.
