Anti-Mormon. Usually a pejorative term used to refer to those (typically Christians) who are critical of Mormonism and therefore are considered hateful by many Mormons. This term first appeared in 1833 in an article by the Louisville (Kentucky) Daily Herald (“The Mormons and Anti-Mormons”).
According to Wikipedia, the term “anti-Mormonism” is associated with “discrimination, persecution, hostility or prejudice directed at members of the Latter Day Saint (sic) movement, particularly The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”
