Mormonism was founded by Joseph Smith, a freemason and is controlled, in its upper echelons, by freemasons. Brigham Young was another example. Like all mystery religions, they believe in the self-deification of man and advocate for a world government led by an enlightened elite. They take elements from gnosticism (such as ascending through the heavens by knowing the secret passwords of angels, akin to knowing the names of the regents of the 365 heavens in the gnostic tradition) and freemasonry (secret handshakes, aprons with a compass and a square), rosicrucianism (the "celestial marriage", comparable to the "Alchemical wedding") and judaism (messianic world government, tikkun olam or "restitution of all things"). To this day, the CIA is flooded with mormons, and mormonic towns are known to act as sects in which non-members are excluded.
