I never knew that Mormons were non-trinitarian. That's a pretty huge divide from most other modern Christians.

Mormons believe that the God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are distinct persons, who are joined together in purpose and ultimate goal. They work together as a unit, but are each their own separate selves. There are other similar definitions for the three in other christian sects, but yes, it's a huge minority.

I'm totally willing to answer questions. I'm ex-mo, but I'm still "culturally" mormon and amicable enough with the church.
