Definitions
A term describing the process or act of converting someone — or a broader community or culture — to Mormonism (the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). Like similar '-ization' constructions, it can be used neutrally in academic or sociological contexts to describe patterns of religious conversion, though in casual use it sometimes carries a skeptical or critical edge depending on the speaker's perspective. Found in discussions of religious history, American social history, and occasionally in culture-war commentary.
The documentary examined the rapid Mormonization of small towns in the mountain West during the 19th century.
