Mormons have been discriminated against for various reasons over the years. Most of this discrimination has been based on misunderstanding. Also, people generally are distrustful of things that are unfamiliar or different, and many find Mormonism to fit in the 'unfamiliar and different' category.

As for specific beliefs, Mormons today are often considered to be non-Christian by mainstream Christian churches because they do not believe in the traditional Trinity and because they use scripture in addition to The Bible. People also disagree with their belief in salvation for the dead, eternal marriages, modern prophets, and revelation. These are all things that make them different from mainstream Christian churches.

Are Mormons against metaphysics?

The doctrines and teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) do not correlate with those of metaphysics. That is, you could not honestly believe in both metaphysics and Mormonism. That being said, Mormons are not 'against' metaphysics. It is a fundamental belief of Mormons that all people should have the freedom to believe and worship as they choose. Mormons recognize metaphysics as a legitimate belief system, just one which they don't personally believe in. Mormons are welcome to study and learn about metaphysics if it interests them.

Difference between individual and institutional discrimination?

Individual discrimination refers to prejudice or discriminatory actions carried out by individuals against others based on characteristics such as race, gender, or religion. Institutional discrimination, on the other hand, involves policies or practices within organizations or systems that have a discriminatory impact on certain groups of people, often unintentionally. Individual discrimination is often more visible and direct, while institutional discrimination can be more subtle but still have significant consequences.
