The polygamy thing works great for new religions because it is a sure fire way to easily create more adherents from a small amount of stock. Indoctrinating children from birth is way easier than converting adults.

It also makes it way easier to convert some adults

Any man who claims he's only polygamous for religious reasons is lying. We all know he just wants a harem of women in his bed.

Hey now don't be bigoted. Some of us want harems with more than just plain old women.

It’s weird that a polygamy religion even recruits women, and that it did so so effectively that Mormonism is now a major and accepted religion.
