Whether or not Mormonism is false is your personal opinion. All religion is based on personal faith and belief and cannot be proven absolutely true or absolutely false. Those who believe that Mormonism is false believe that way for many reasons. Some take issue with the doctrines, practices, or claims of Mormonism. Others have a problem with faith in general, not trusting something that for which they can't have tangible evidence.
No. Mormonism is a Restorationist Christian religious movement. Followers of Mormonism come from many different ethnic groups around the world. It is true that some religious groups can double as ethnic groups (such as Judaism - although you can be an ethnic Jew but not a religious Jew, or religiously Jewish but not ethnically Jewish) but Mormonism has not had the thousands of years of intermarrying required to become an ethnic group.
No, the only known cure for Mormonism is sin.
The reasons why people dislike Mormonism vary widely. Most often it is just because people dislike beliefs and opinions that are different from their own. Some people have been misinformed about Mormonism and dislike it because of information which they think is true but actually is not. Still others dislike Mormonism just because it is a popular thing to do, although they may not know much about it. Others are against Mormonism because they were once a part of it and have felt wronged or offended by it in some way. For the most part, most people seem to either a.) recognize that they don't really know enough about Mormonism to have an opinion about it; or b.) think that it's a fine religion for those who choose it although they do not personally agree with it's doctrines or practices. Those who are actually antagonistic against Mormonism are quite few, but they are a very outspoken bunch.
