That's because everyone automatically connects polygamy and Mormon's together, even though we have practiced it as a religion since the late 1800's. I can assure you, the main family and the polygamist sects in the show are not Mormon nor do they have anything to do with what we believe or how we act.
Why would I feel differently about them then I do about non mormon homosexuals? I may not agree with their actions, but I'm not going to judge or treat them any differently then I do anyone else. They are free to make their own choices and those choices don't make them any less of a person.
if you could simply walk away from being a mormon, would you?
I'm telling you it was the main family that was going to find where the Book of Mormon was written. Face it the show is about Mormons.

Do you feel you (or any religious person) should expose your children a wide variety of religious experiences before training them and teaching them to follow your own calling?
HOw would you feel if your children chose not to follow your religion when they grow up? Would it strain your relationship with them?
God's unto god, and caesar's unto caesar... and, last I checked, only one of those two had to maintain public order and infrastructure.

Mormon fundamentalists are still mormons, no?
Mormon fundamentalists seek to uphold tenets and practices no longer held by mainstream Mormons (members of the LDS Church).
Mormon fundamentalist beliefs generally include the following elements:
* plural marriage
* the law of consecration
* the Adam–God teachings attributed to Young
* the principle of blood atonement
* the exclusion of black men from the priesthood
Of these, the principle most often associated with Mormon fundamentalism is plural marriage, a form of polygyny first taught by Joseph Smith, Jr., the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement. The LDS Church eventually modified or altogether abandoned these early principles, including plural marriage.
