Possible move to Salt Lake City, UT

[dochummer]

Hype.

Most mormons also believe in religious freedom - ie, that's why they settled the Salt Lake area. You have to understand though, that the religion has a very open proselyting system in place, and they are very eager to share their beliefs. It doesn't give them an excuse however to not be respectful of others. If they are, in fact, black-listing business' because of faith, then they're not practicing what they're preaching.

Like Neo said, there are a lot more non-mormons that live in the area than you would expect. I personally liked living there when I did....more because of the outdoor activities available. Most people were genuinely nice to you....more so than where I live now....

If I may, I'd like to ask a more sensitive question. I have now spoken to a couple of folks who used to live out there. They indicated that if you are not of the Mormon faith, you should really stay out of that area. One gave an example of his business being black listed because he was not of the faith. Another stated that hiring services, such as contractors, can be a real nightmare also if you are not of the faith.
Is this true or just stereotyped hype?

While I am not of the faith, I am a big believer in religious freedom. In other words, I don't tread on others unless they tread on me...
