Are Mormons Polygamist?
Polygamy is the practice of having more then one spouse at a time. Supposedly, living a gratifying life all in the name of religion. These people are often called Mormons. However, I have found that polygamy in the modern day Mormon faith is rarely practiced anymore, and hasn’t been in over one hundred years.

A few short years later, because we live America where majority rules the decision was made, July 1864 to prohibit the practice of polygamy.
