Most, but not all, temples and churches of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) have a steeple on top of or adjacent to the main building. This is not meant to resemble a pyramid in any way, it is in following a popular Christian tradition to have a steeple on religious buildings. The steeple is meant to draw the eye upward toward God and to identify that the building has a sacred purpose. No Mormon temple has a 'pyramid' on top, and the pyramid has no symbolic meaning in Mormonism.
Many steeples on Mormon temples feature a gold statue of the angel Moroni, who is heralding the return of Jesus Christ. Mormon churches usually have plain steeples.
