Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) worship God our Heavenly Father. Mormons also worship Jesus Christ, the son of God to whom they look for salvation. Mormons pray to the father in the name of the son.
Mormons believe that the father has given all power and authority to his son Jesus. The plan of salvation is administered through Jesus Christ. Jesus created this earth. It is he who answers our prayers. He set an example and taught us how to come unto the father. Jesus suffered and died in order to pay our debt of sin. He will be our judge.
Mormons worship the father by striving to live a Christ like life. As we turn our lives to Christ, we are saved by his atoning sacrifice for sin. If we are in rebellion to God, we have no such promise.
Mormons worship god because we strongly believe in God and want to repay him with all that we can
A temple or Mormon temple.
No. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are taught to treat everyone with love and respect, because they believe that all people are children of God. They hold no animosity toward those of other faiths, and welcome them to participate in worship services. The only time that there may be some discrimination toward non-Mormons is in Temple worship (different than regular Sunday worship). Non-Mormons and Mormons who have not received permission from their local leaders, cannot enter the temple after it has been dedicated. Because Mormons want to share the temple with their friends of other faiths, they open the temple to the public for tours before dedication and after any major renovations.
The major type of worship was Ancestrial Worship...
Mormonism and Confucianism are quite different. First off, most scholars don't even consider Confucianism to be a religion, it is a 'philisophic system' or 'ethical code'. This is often because of it's lack of God or Gods - there is no deity in Confucianism to worship. Mormons worship God the Father and Jesus Christ, similar to other Christian groups. In moral and ethical beliefs, though, Mormons and Confucians have some similarities. The biggest similarity is emphasis on family relationships. Both Mormons and Confucians hold their families and ancestors in high regard, and have great respect and honor toward their ancestors. Confucians focus on cultivating virtue and developing moral perfection. This is also a major goal of Mormons, who believe that mortal life is a time for progressing and becoming more like God, who certainly is virtuous and morally perfect.
ethical monotheism
Not sure what you mean by "emphasis on"...but the belief and worship of one deity is "mono-theism". As opposed to "poly-theism"
Why do we do this today? The answer is the same: faith.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) worship for the same reasons as any other person of faith would worship. Worship is a way to praise God to thank Him for all that He has bestowed upon mankind. Many Mormons also feel that worship allows them to connect with God on a personal level and develop a relationship with Him. Worship also allows us to fellowship with other believers and to share and receive the gospel message.
Christians, Catholics, and Mormons all worship God in his namesake. However, Muslims and Jews also worship God, they just have different names for him.

The Mormons were receiving massive persecution, being moved from New York to Kirtland, to eventually Utah. So basically, they wanted a place to worship their religion in peace
