Both historically and currently, one of the top reasons that people have for not liking members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) is ignorance. People naturally don't like people that they percieve as 'different' and are generally unwilling to learn more about that person or let them explain why they do or believe that way. People hear rumors about the Church, most of which are false, and form their opinions around these lies.
Historically, Mormons would be run out of town because their population would become so high that the locals would be outnumbered and the politics and culture of their town would change. Now, people don't like Mormons simply because they don't agree with their religious beliefs or moral standards.
