Mormonism is the predominant religious tradition of the Latter Day Saint Movement. It was founded by Joseph Smith in Western new York in the 1820s. It distinguished itself from traditional Protestantism. A prophet leader Joseph Smith was killed in 1844. After that most Mormons followed Brigham Young on his westward journey to the Utah Territory.
Mormon fundamentalism maintained practices and doctrines such as poligamy ( plural marriage ), or the United Order, form of egalitarian communalism. In the 1890 Manifesto the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints announced the official end of plural marriage. This was the reason why several groups of Mormons broke with this church forming several denominations of Mormon fundamentalism.
Some sources have claimed that there are about 6.5 million Mormons in the United States today.
In regards to this question, there are no options given. I hope you are looking for whether the statement in the question is true or false. It would be totally false to say that in recent years, the controversy surrounding environmental issues has decreased. The controversy has increased not only in third world countries, but also in developed countries as well.
