They aren't Christian, they are Mormon. Mormons may call themselves Christian, but only to avoid the Cult label and gain some main stream acceptance. Mormons are not Christian and are actually quite repelled by the Cross of Christ.
This does make a difference. It is an important distinction. For Mormons, it is alright to lie if it will get the desired result. Also, the accumulation of wealth is considered evidence of their god's favor and so a wealthy man is considered a godly man. If he is wealthy as a result of lies, then god must approve the lies - or he wouldn't be wealthy - is pretty much how the thinking goes.
It must be admitted that such false doctrine is also now rampant in groups that could be called Christian. Also, some of the worst abuses in these private programs have taken place in programs that say they are Christian - often Baptist.
I would argue these are the Christians who will be turned away by Christ, as having used His name, but never known Him.
But the Mormon thing is something quite different. The Christian message of Salvation is entirely absent from Mormon teaching and the Christ they speak of is not at all the Christ of the Old and New Testaments.
I know lots of people don't care about this and I'm not trying to insist they should. However, others might care. I know I would.
