Brits Sketchy on Mormonism

Well, sorry, as a Brit I simply can't answer this one.

But perhaps American readers would like to know that Mormonism certainly hasn't entered the mainstream of British religion and most Brits pretty certainly would only have the sketchiest idea of what it is, where it is, what it believes or does.

People in the UK are far, far less interested in religion as such all round than they are in the U.S.A. Why that should be so is itself a very interesting question but it's not the one you asked!
