They have ALL tried to alter God's Word to suit their own desires and philosophies.

Clearly the fact that you're lumping them together would indicate that you think them not being Christian is enough to call a "similarity." Otherwise... not a lot of similarities. I never even *heard* of Raelians until this question, but did a quick Internet search. Mormons and Raelians are the only two of the above that have any kind of hierarchy within their religion, and only the Raelians are named after their prophet. Satanists and pagans are both loosely organized, but they got very different belief systems. I *suspect* Mormons and pagans tend to be more concerned about karma, but would be glad to be wrong on that count. So... no. They're not one of the Big Major Religions --Christian, Muslim, Hindi, or Buddhist. That's about it.

The only similarity I can see is that the members are human beings.
"Mormons", or members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, believe that Jesus is the Christ and that the Holy Bible is scripture, which is the definition of a Christian.
We share with other Christian denominations most Christian beliefs, such as
Jesus Christ created the worlds
Jesus was born of a virgin.
He was the only begotten Son of God.
He lived a perfect life
He established His Church
He taught His gospel.
He suffered for the sins of all mankind.
He died so that we may live.
He was resurected on the third day
He will return to reign on earth.
Our differences rest in our declaration that we are the restored Church of Jesus Christ. Thus, we are NOT part of the Catholic or Protestant tradition. Because we teach the Biblical gospel, and not traditional Christianity, we are frequently ridiculed by traditionalists.

Pagans? we are nevertheless around for helpful, and in increasing numbers. Like atheists, pagans have confidence fairly some issues. particularly on account that paganism isn't a single faith, yet a style of many, many faiths. additionally, the only element that one and all atheists share in consumer-friendly is their loss of perception in a deity. so which you will possibly answer your question, no we don't have an identical concepts. Our similarity is that we are all distinctive, satirically sufficient.

mormons are christians, what makes people think differently? mormons don't believe in cloning and inhabbitting other planets it's creating other worlds and populating them with their children as god did. i never really got the religion until i actually read the book of mormon and it doesn't change the word of god it clarifies it. most people do take what the bible says and try to make it mean something else to fit their point, we take it for what it says.

Unlike Mormons and Satanists, Pagans are not Christian. Pagans that are EBFs (earth based faiths) could care less about living in space.

Mormons are a Christian spin-off sect.
Pagans are polytheists. Many of them choose a pantheon to work with. They are about as opposite as you can get from Chrsitianity.
The others I'm not qualified to comment on.

YES. They all have a hierarchy in which performs hidden and/or secret rituals in which you must be qualified, ordained, or initiated..... to prove worthy of participation in that society.
