Adding to the complexity is the “phantasmagoria” of Mormon theology—
Apparently typed without ironic intent.
In the latest First Things, it's wryly observed that many of those who insist Christianity worships the same God as Islam---which is completely devoted to denying Jesus as "the Christ"---fuss over Mormons not worshiping that same Christ.
Mostly, from what I gather reading letters from Mormons themselves here and there, many have a view of Jesus-as-Christ pretty much the same as orthodox Christians, and indeed closer to orthodox Christians than many "liberal" Christians are.
[This is only an impression and my own informal survey, mind you.]
