Every religion has positives and negatives. Of all of the religions I have been exposed to, it seems that the extremists are the bad parts. It is the people that take their religion to the point they have to convert others with some type of force that I have a problem with.
My personal experience with mormons has left with me less than positive reviews on it. But I feel the same way about certain christian groups, muslim groups, buddha groups, and a few others. The only group of people I've ever spent time with that were "very" religious and weren't extremist were the Amish in Ohio. Quite lovely people, they never tried to preach at me, or convert me. But I won't say that they are better than any one religion.
My ex was a mormon that claimed she didn't believe in divorce, and a woman must do anything a man says, regardless of the damage physically/mentally to her or her children. My cousin is a mexican mormon, and has similar views, and even tried to drown her son in the tub when he was little because "The mormon God only accepts girls into heaven." But I respect that all religions are different.
