I think it's strange to assert that LDS is the only subject worth studying in this regard, and it's less that I'm disinterested than that I don't want to say something I don't have full confidence in about a very touchy subject, but okay, have a good day.
I just find LDS fascinating because it's such a cleanly documented entire lifecycle (minus death) of a religion, complete with messianic central figure, novel lore corpus, and notable physical territory. It's clearly not the only subject worth studying, I just can't imagine being interested in the area and not digging into LDS since it's such a unique specimen.
Are Mormons touchy? I haven't seen any touchiness from them. If anything I feel like they get made fun of so much in mainstream culture that they are kind of immune to it.
