It started in April 1830. The USA was formed in 1776, so the age of the US is the difference between the 2. Sorry that I am a "big picture qualitative guy" and I can't tell you the answer to that. I know that there is a positive remainder less than 100.

Depends on how you interpret history and the term "Mormon"
Apparently the Nephites were practicing all the doctrines of the 'modern' church decades before christ, so that could put the 'mormons' older than catholicism.
Joseph Smith had his first vision in 1820, 1822, or 1824 depending on his mood at the time he was dictating his 'memoirs'.
The Book of Mormon was published on paper in 1830, but the claim is the golden plates were held by Moroni 400AD. His dad was Mormon.
Laban of Jerusalem had his family plates of brass stolen from him by the original Nephi, who also beheaded him for god. The brass plates contained a family genealogy, but I no longer remember if they were 'translated (correctly) or not.
So take you choice: somewhere between 600 BC to 1830.

1830, April 6
The Church organized in Fayette Township, New York
The US was 54 years old.
New York, not Utah! They moved to Utah after they were persecuted and run out of the East.
I wish people would try looking into the truth before passing judgment.

CTR does not equal WWJD. WWJD = What would Jesus do. By the way Jack the ripper was running around in England when Joseph Smith started the church.

Church started in the 1930's. Joseph Smith started translating the Morman documents in 1829.

"How old was the US at that time" ?
Obviously not old enough to know better.
