All branches of Christianity share a basic belief in Jesus Christ, his atonement, and his position as savior and redeemer. They all believe in The Bible, follow the commandments, and worship as a community. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) is no exception. There are a handful of groups which split from the Mormon church (such as Community of Christ, FLDS, and Apostolic United Brethren), so these denominations are similar in history, up to the point of their departure.
Other Christian branches that grew out of the Second Great Awakening with Mormonism (such as Adventists and Disciples of Christ) share more similar ideas than the older branches (such as Lutherans, Catholics, and Episcopalians). Like all Christians, Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is their Savior and that the Bible is the Word of God. They also share similar traditions such as Baptism, Communion/Lord's Supper, and blessing by laying on hands, as well as Christmas and Easter.
Mormonism does have unique features which are found in few, if any, other Christian denominations, such as a rejection of the Nicene Creed, belief in modern prophets and an open scriptural canon, salvation for the dead, eternal families, and lay clergy.

What are other religions that are included in Christianity or categorized as Christian religions?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or Mormon Church regards itself as a Christian Church, although most other Christian denominations disagree. In favour of the Mormon Church being a Christian religion is that the Church worships Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Saviour. This belief is central to Christianity. Against the Mormon Church being a Christian religion is the Mormon belief in polytheism. However, there is arguably an element of polytheism in at least some other Christian denominations.
