Miss-stated question.
Mormons are Christian and so part of Christianity.
Better question : What's the Difference between the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and Non-denominational Christians.
IMHO:
A belief in personal responsibility. LDS believe that accepting Christ is following His gospel of Faith, repentance, Baptism by authority and Receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost. Also receiving His sacred ordinances in the temple. Then living up to these ordinances and continuing to humble yourself before the Lord in repentance for any wrong doing.
Non-D Christians believe accepting Christ is a sincere moment in time where they choose Christ (or Christ chooses them) and all is done for ever and ever no matter what.

Mormons have the faith to believe in living prophets. Most other Christians do not, and end up persecuting them like their ancestors before them. Mormons believe that God is tangible and real; he takes up time and space, and has an actual throne in the heavens. He directs his kingdom through his priesthood. He calls prophets before they are even born, to represent him to mankind. Mormons believe that Jesus is in fact the literal, physical, son of God, and not his own father. Because of many latter-day revelations, Mormons have a deeper understanding of the scriptures, and the gospel of Jesus Christ. The biggest difference, is that the LDS church has the Holy Ghost. One can see it in the countenances of the members, and feel its presence in their services.

That's like asking the difference between ducks and birds. Ducks are birds. Mormons are Christians. Their are hundreds of Christian religions and they all have different beliefs. But what they all have in common is their belief in Jesus Christ and his teachings.

I'm not Mormon, but another difference is that the Mormon bible has an extra book that is not featured in the Christian bible.

Mormons believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and follow his teachings in addition to the Bible. They also follow the leadership of 12 "disciples" they believe to be divinely chosen of God to lead them.
Christians (wow, that's a broad term) - let me rephrase that and say born-again Christians follow the teachings of Jesus and believe that the Holy Bible is the only inspired word of God.
As for those who call themselves Christians but are not born again, I can't speak for them but I've never heard of anyone who followed Joseph Smith outside of Mormonism.

That depends on what you mean by Christianity. Hitler was able to convince the Germans he was Christian. The KKK claimed to be Christian. With that said I would say the mormons should qualify.

None. Mormons are Christians because we believe in Jesus, that he is God's son that died for our sins in the cross, he is our older brother and we have faith in him, thatnks to him we can be saved.
