I've taken a clumsy stab at doing that, but would appreciate it if other editors could review this.

For the Lead, "Mormon scholars" is more accessible to the average reader than "scholars of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church)".

I definitely see where you're coming from, but in this case it's not an easter egg because the two words "an angel" are linked instead of just one word "angel". More importantly, I think it's better to prioritize the readability and accessibility in the Lead (...said he was visited by an angel) rather than dropping odd sounding names that only Mormons will recognize (...said he was visited by the Angel Moroni) Tag: Undo

Reverting just one change (changing "Smith died" --> "Smith's death") because Smith didn't simply die, he was killed, but the circumstances of his death are too complicated to go into greater detail in the 1st paragraph of the Lead. (Was he murdered, assassinated, martyred, lynched, or killed by a mob? It's a blend of all of these.)
