First, as was pointed out in the politics thread, Mormons are not considered Christian by a large percentage of Christianity. Romney is a Mormon. I am a Mormon. In this regard, I'm part of a minority, and I'm not too fond of people criticizing my religion.
No criticism meant, but I think it is fairly reasonable for people to consider Mormonism it's own thing, rather than just another Christian denomination. It uses its own unique scriptures that originated in the United States, and teach about Jesus coming to America. This isn't just a unique interpretation of Jesus, these are teachings that are radically different and unique from every other branch of Christianity that came to the world by the hand of a fellow who was well known to be a bit on the sketchy side, written in a language that no real person knows on tablets that were conveniently "lost" after translation. At least other religious documents actually exist and can be studied and compared, the original source for the documents of Mormonism can't even be proven to have ever existed in the first place.
