No, people here are very nice and never try to push their religion on you. In fact they kind of stay away from you unless you are a member of the church. That's what I have observed here but they are friendly and say hi and wave but that's it.
Utah. Mormons settled the majority of the towns in Utah, southern Idaho, and northern Arizona. This area is sometimes called the "Mormon Curtain".
Mormon Pioneer National Historic Trail covers nearly 100 miles in Utah, and about 1300 miles total. From the trail's end in Salt Lake City to Washington D.C. is a 2100 mile drive, so from where the trail enters Utah at the border of Wyoming it is a 2000 mile drive.
Mormon pioneers were the first white people to settle in Utah, but they were the second people to settle in Utah. Native Americans had lived in the area for thousands of years.
As of 2021, it is estimated that around 62% of the population in Utah is affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). This means that approximately 38% of the population in Utah consists of people who are not Mormon. However, it's important to note that these figures are estimates and may vary.

The Mormon pioneers took the Mormon Pioneer Trail to Utah.
The majority of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) are found outside of the United States. Only about 40% of the 14 million members of the "Mormon" church live in the U.S. Within the U.S., church membership is mostly concentrated in the west. States with high Mormon populations are Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Nevada, California, and Washington. About 9% of all Mormons live in Utah, the state with the highest concentration of Mormons (about 70% of Utah residents are Mormon).
There isn't a 'Mormon town' in Utah. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) live in every town in Utah, and settled about 90% of them. Mormons are the majority religion in most, if not all, cities in Utah.
no.
Nope! About 70% of the people who live in Utah are baptized members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church). However, many of these don't go to church or consider themselves Mormon, they were baptized as children but have now left the faith. Only about 50% (half) of the people who live in Utah are active church-going Mormons.About 10% of all Mormons worldwide live in Utah.
No. There is a good representation of all faiths in Utah. It was the Mormon pioneers who first settled there, but things have changed since 1847. Obviously, no. The number one rule of the universe is "every rule has an exception." Not all smart people wear glasses. Not all people who wear lots of dark clothing are goths. Not everyone who lives in Utah is a Mormon.
No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) does not run the state of Utah. The Government of the State of Utah runs the state of Utah. Theocratic governments are not allowed within the United States. About 60-70% of the state-level politicians in Utah are members of the Mormon church, which is simply a reflection of the fact that about 65% of the residents of Utah are practicing Mormons.
