Morality is doing what is right, regardless of what you are told.
Religion is doing what you are told, regardless of what is right.

For the record, I didn't take the OP as serious as the rest of y'alls seem to be.

Also, I've sometimes wondered the same thing, in light of Catholics who follow the charism of St. Francis being called Franciscans, and the Dominicans, etc. So, I've wondered why no one ever uses the term "Jesuscans". (?)

Mormons put "ite" on the end of everything, so I thought Buttite worked well.

It's just a play on language, as well. None of which I find to be an offense against God, and doesn't change WHO Jesus IS. None of our silliness or even grave sins does that.

Not to mention, from my POV, Mormonism is a bigger offense against God than one singe person calling himself "Joseph" ever could be.

Peace.

The real reason was that this particular derailment was reported.
