It seems a bit ironic to me that Joseph Smith founded these religions by praying about the numerous denominations/religions of his day. The result of that is 3 more options to explore.

Actually there's more than just 3, see link.

This is a list of sects which consider themselves a part of Latter Day Saint Restorationism. All follow at least some of the teachings and revelations of Joseph Smith, Jr., publisher of the Book of Mormon in 1830. Latter Day Saint Restorationism had its largest schism after the Death of Joseph Smith, Jr. in 1844. Following Smith's death, the largest group of adherents followed Brigham Young, settled in Utah Territory and called themselves The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and denominations headquartered in the west are sometimes referred to as a "Rocky Mountain Saint" sects. Other groups remained in and around Nauvoo, Illinois and Independence, Missouri and are sometimes called a "Prairie Saint" sects.

Sound, balanced teaching is a must. Our default should be to partake. Our default should be to live in joy, not condemnation. Our default should be to love, not to correct, to encourage, not to criticize. (Quote from prisonchaplain)
