I think Hollywood is always looking for away to protray western religions in a bad light.

I don't think it would be Mormon bashing to discuss Moundain Meadows. Brigham Young and the Mormon Church didn't want the settlers there and they ended up dead. I think there is a pretty good chance that Mormons carried out the raid or pursuaded indians to do it. The only people really disputing this is the LDS Church and their PR firms.

I agree with you about the way Hollywood goes out of it's way to dredge up anything negative about any protestant religion. I suspect that there are lots of atrocities in the dark corners of all the religions. The problem with protestant religions is that we don't have special interest groups threatening lawsuits. The screenwriters rewrote 'The Sum of All Fears' so that the villians wouldn't be from the ROP. That's when I decided to find out the slant of any given movie before making a choice to pay money to see it.

It happened. It's true. It also happened that Mormons were burned out of their homes and killed in Missouri by folks who called themselves Christians. Lots of things happened in the past that the groups involved should have shame about.

Current Mormons did none of this.
