Mormon与Mormonism

I never thought I'd relate to a story about growing up in a Mormon survivalist household.

华盛顿邮报这篇文章的这句话中译文为我从没想过自己会对一个关于在摩门教生存主义家庭中成长的故事产生共鸣。既然是摩门教为什么没用Mormonism而是用了Mormon，Morman字典中是摩门教教徒的意思，此语境下这两个词哪个合适？

其实，陈老师已经间接回答这个问题了。Mormon不仅是名词，还是形容词。本句中介词in 的宾语为household, 摩门教这个概念是作定语的，因此需要形容词Mormon, 而不是名词Mormonism。
