Is it possible to live in Salt Lake City not being a mormon ?

How is someone who belongs to other religion than mormonism persecuted in Salt Lake City ?Is it possible to live in Salt Lake City not being a mormon ?
Yes. There are plenty of people in Salt Lake who are not Mormon and live there. I mean you're gonna know a lot of Mormons, but people who live there do not get persecuted.
According to the website below, Mormons make up about 60% of Utah's population. I think that Salt Lake has a lower % than that. So yes it is possible. I've heard stories from non-mormons who've lived in Utah that had only praise for them and others that had only criticism. I think it's safe to say each experiences unique circumstances.Is it possible to live in Salt Lake City not being a mormon ?
Salt Lake City is a large metropolitan area with many different types of people. Yes, Mormons have a large presence in SLC but I dont believe you will be persecuted. I toured Temple Square and expected to come across people trying to "convert" me but I did not. They are a very pleasant people who actually do respect other beliefs.
Sixty percent of SLC are not Mormon and of the Mormons, the active ones are the minority. The Mormons helped build the local Catholic Church and elected one of the first Jewish governor's in the nation (the first was in Idaho, of all places, and it is also predominantly Mormon).



What you will find is a love/hate relationship between those of other religions and the Mormons, not the other way around. You often see it in this forum, as well.
Salt Lake is just less than half LDS. You will hardly be persecuted, but some find it obnoxious.



It will depend partly on the neighborhood you pick. Some are quite non-LDS, others are overwhelming.



You will have to put up with a culture that reflects their values as to liquor laws, politics etc, but that has loosened up a lot as they try to attract tourism.



Both local papers are very pro-LDS, although there are smaller more 'underground' type papers available.
Its possible to live anywhere you want in the Uninted States and practice any religion you want. allthough I dont know how long that freedom is going to last because they are taking all of the ppls rights away. they are trying to force churches to preform samesex marriages,Kids cant pray in school you cant even put a bumper sticker thats condones Christianity on your car with out catching flak anymore. and thats not just it they are actually sending kids home or making them turn their shirts inside out just for wearing an american flag on their t-shirts because they are affensive! The goverment is slowly turning us into a communist country and they are using all of our ammendment out of context to do it which is sad for a country founded on Christianity and freedom of speach.
Yes it is! I went to a Christian Church there for the 4 yrs that I lived in Salt Lake. I loved the area, but man is the customer service there horrible. I think the biggest problem is for children there, because almost every high school has a LDS Seminary right next to the campuses of Public schools. The worst treatment I saw was how people acted in your neighborhood, if they found out you were not a Mormon. There was no persecution. Just cant make long life friends if you not Mormon or it's much harder, I should say.



Here is a picture of LDS seminary near school grounds. This one is actually in Idaho and is very far away from the campus, compared to the one in Salt Lake.

Civil law, you can live anywhere in the US and not be a part of the popular religion of that region, that is why they are called inalienable rights.
There is a very large number of non-mormons who live in Salt Lake. Salt Lake is the liberal center of Utah.
Theres more non-Mormons than Mormons in Salt Lake City.
Its not that bad in SLC, but go to the other towns in Utah...its strictly Mormonville there. More by design than anything else.
Half the people there seem to do it just fine, and I don't see any mass Exodus in the works.
cute. not @all persecuted - most of my family is non-LDS and lives in the SLValley.
yes, many do.



How it is all depends on how you react to being a minority.
