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.

That is, after all, the most important of Christ's teachings, and the foundation of Christianity.

Skinheads are sometimes associated with racism because some factions of the subculture have embraced white supremacist ideology. However, it is important to note that not all skinheads are racist.

The definition of a religious sect is: 'a subdivision of a larger religious group.'Which Christian church came first?

Therefore every Christian denomination by definition is a subdivision or SECT of the Roman Catholic Church.Now we come to the question. "Is Mormonism considered a sect?" 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. The LDS Church (Mormonism) has its roots as a independent Christian Church. Therefore Mormonism is NOT a Sect.

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. FFA members more typically try to aid the mainstream societal culture conform to their beliefs, a more positive viewpoint than is usually associated with the subcultural subversion to normalcy. 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.
What are some good emo bands?
Since this question was probably asked by someone who is considering becoming emo ( overaterrated, whiney, mainstream, newest hottest subculture) I suggest you check out cradel of filth, Eveanesence ( not so much "emo" as "depressing" gothic rock) and if you were truly "emo" you would not be asking this question.
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.
