No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) is not a deviant subculture. There are over 14 million Mormons worldwide, all who fit into their local culture quite well. They have everyday jobs, live in typical homes in typical neighborhoods, eat the same foods and wear the same clothes as others in their city or nation. They definately don't deviate enough culturally to count as a deviant subculture.

I dispute your premise. Mormonism (which is correctly called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) is built on a foundation of restoring original Christianity. If you believe Christianity to be a lie, then you would doubtless have difficulty with the LDS faith. But you are correct in observing that Mormonism requires intense caring for one another. That is, after all, the most important of Christ's teachings, and the foundation of Christianity.

The presence of far-right skinheads has raised concerns about racism and xenophobia in certain areas.

What are the values of the goth subculture that separates it from the dominant culture?
It is tempting to suggest that one of the values of the goth subculture that separates it from the dominant culture is pretentiousness, but that wouldn't be true as the dominant culture is absorbed in a pretentiousness of it's own kind. A dominant pretentiousness pervades the dominant culture but the goth subculture embraces their pretense to flamboyant heights. The subculture is less about values and more about mood and aesthetic than values and politics. The goth subculture as a whole is surprisingly apolitical in their general behavior. They claim to advocate individualism but all dress the same, even in their differences, they are dark and moody, brooding and sullen in their attitude and their style of dress. They model their fashion tastes after villainous vampires and other such morbid creatures but idealize themselves as Byronic Heroes. They affect boredom as if they wouldn't be bored without all the affectation, they religiously remain faithful to the goth rock bands that cater to them and, with the exception of heavy Catholic imagery, they remain remarkably irreligious. They suffer the misconceptions and the indignities of misunderstanding by the dominant culture but they endure. Whatever their values, they are different from the dominant culture and thus a subculture that has steadily grown in numbers and seems to thrive where other subcultures have long since faded into obscurity. They are unified by their sense of style, their leanings toward intellectualism, their obsession with all thing Gothic and blessed with an entire genre of rock bands who sing their praises. A movement that embraced pretense has become actuality and in that very real sense, they remain just as bored today as they were when they began pretending and perhaps that is the unifying value behind the goth subculture, they tragically endure their boredom.
Is mormonism considered a sect?
The definition of a religious sect is: 'a subdivision of a larger religious group.'Which Christian church came first? The Roman Catholic Church was the first Christian Church and today it is the largest with 1.1 billion members.

It may be considered a sect by uneducated people, but Mormonism by definition it is not a SECT. The LDS Church (Mormonism) does not claim its roots as a break away or subdivision of the Roman Catholic Church or any other church.

What is the general impact on Mormonism of the Book of Abraham controversy?
The Book of Abraham controversy has helped to divide modern-day Mormonism. The Book of Abraham is also not contained in the Christian Bible, and spikes controversy with non-Mormons. More important, the apparently fraudulent nature of Smith's 'translation' of the Book of Abraham from papyri now known to contain texts from ordinary Egyptian funerary rituals seriously calls into question his purported translation of the Book of Mormon, supposedly prepared from hieroglyphic texts engraved on golden tablets which have since been taken to heaven by the angel Moroni.
Is Future Farmers of America a subculture?
Not in the usual sense. Members of a subculture are generally identified by similarities in their criticism of mainstream values in an attempt to create their own identity.

Just as a side note, they have been called the National FFA Organization since 1998, when they chose to drop the "Future Farmers" reference in recognition of the number of non-farming agricultural vocations available.
