While Mormons, Adventists, and Shakers all originated in the Restoration Movement which grew out of the Second Great Awakening, they are very different religions with very different beliefs.

Christians believe that Jesus died on the cross for their sins, and they accept him as their savior. Also they are called upon to love everyone, and to do good for others. That is the base for Christians. Christians also have their own rules according to how they dress, what they watch, and what they take part in. Some are outrageous, some make sense. Christian rules can go from very strict, to not strict in the least bit. It all depends on the person, and how uptight they are.
