First of all, you should spell correctly when asking if another group of people is stupid.
There are about 12 million mormons in the world. Some have multiple Ph.D's, are doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, businessmen,etc. Others were high school drop outs. Some live in 3rd world countries and haven't had educational opportunities.
I will point out that BYU is one of the most multi-lengual campuses. Among americans that are born in the USA, Mormons are much more bi-lengual as a group due to the foreign missions that many serve. I know mormons that speak tagalog, thai, spanish, portugese, norweigian, russian, etc.
The average GPA for entering freshmen at BYU is 3.78 and the average ACT score is 27.8. The student body is about 32,000 students. That doesn't sound like a stupid subset of Mormons.
So to ask a blanket question about such a large, diverse group is, frankly, stupid on your part.

One, asking if an entire religion is stupid, says more about you then about the people you are asking about.
Their real name is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Mormon's is just a nick name given to them becuase of the Book of Mormon, which is the history of Jesus Christ's dealing with the people of the America's.
Mormon's are just people. They come in all varieties, just like Catholics, Baptists, etc.
The Church if you mean is the church stupid, no it is the Gospel restored by the Fater and Son through Joseph Smith. The Gospel as it was taught when Jesus was here upon the earth. Having Prophets, Priests, Teachers, Decons, etc. as the church did when Christ was here upon the earth.
If you feel the need to condem an entire religious community, may I suggest that you learn more about all religions by talking to religioius leaders of all faiths, then maybe you'll find wisdom and not think any religion or it's poeple are stupid.

First of all it's "...they're stupid?" not "there".
Secondly- they're not more or less intelligent than any 'believers'.
Most of the Mormons I know are some of the nicest people I've ever met.
As far as religion goes- theirs is based on some really ridiculous stuff... but aren't they all? It's just that the charlatan that invented their religion is recent enough so that we know he was a charlatan.

Most Mormons are horribly misinformed and are some of the worst lemmings imaginable.
The first five pages of the Book of Mormon were enough for even the worst blockhead to realize that the faith was ridiculous.
Allow me to re-cap them for you.
Page 1- I'm Joe Smith and I know everything (and you dont)
Page 2- We 12 guys think Joe Smith is great (please follow him)
Page 3- We 144 guys think the 12 guys are great (pay us too)
Page 4- In 600 B.C. two tribes of Israel sailed to America
Page 5- In 33 A.D. Christ came to America after he rose from the dead... he blessed the only remaining tribe of Israel (which according to the Book of Mormon is the entire Native American Nation...!!!)
The Governor of Missouri had the right idea in 1854 when he signed a State-wide EXTERMINATION order to get rid of these fanatics and lunatics. This was why they REALLY left Missouri, they had declared war on Missouri and lost.....

I'm non-morman that lives in Utah. You have many areas where they will expect you to convert if you live amongst them. It can get very uncomfortable. You should never be pressured into a religion.
