They revere Joseph Smith for sure (and some other made up folks like Moroni or whatever) but I think it's incorrect to say Jesus has taken a back seat in their faith. I just toured one of their temples (which they allow only briefly before they consecrate it), JC was everywhere. Not sure I saw any imagery of Joseph Smith, but it was a lot to take in and I may have missed it.

Thanks guys I learned something today! I really thought it was Joseph > Jesus but it makes sense you wouldn't talk about the bro every Sunday. lol.

I could be wrong about things, to be clear, I'm mostly just making inferences from my personal observations, which is gonna come with a lotta holes lol. Cheers, have a good one!

Edit to add: for a fun tidbit, we Mormonized our profanity a bit for grins, it's not uncommon in my household to hear "Joseph fucking Smith!" or "ah thank Joseph Smith" in response to bad or good news, respectively. But that's just us being equal opportunity religious critics, diversity and representation are crucial!
