Well, there are many non-Mormons who live there, and there are churches of several other denominations in Heber.
I would definitely not call Cedar City the first non-Mormon town in Utah. Cedar City was established by Mormons in 1851 and has had a Mormon majority population ever since.Several other towns in Utah were "non-Mormon" towns, such as Ogden (established by fur trappers a year before the Mormons arrived) and Park City (originally settled by Mormons but became a mostly non-Mormon mining town in the 1860's).
Most Mormons are not mean in calling non Mormons names. When referring to non Mormons, they are usually called non members. It's not to offend people, it's just when you're classifying all non Mormons, you have to say something. Former Church President Gordon B. Hinckley suggested called non Mormons "Friends of other faiths" as a kinder-sounding term, but it didn't really catch on. ^^Good answer. When referring to someone who is not a member of the church we call them non members. If they are a member but hardly ever go we just call them inactive. Its not in anyway to offend anyone.
Yes, very much so.
No, Mormons marry ONLY Mormons
All of what is now Utah was inhabited by several non-Mormon native tribes for thousands of years prior to the Mormons moving in. Ogden was a small trapping and trading outpost (called Fort Bueneventura) settled two years prior to the Mormons arriving, although it wasn't much of a 'town' at the time.
Usually, nothing. For a brief period before Utah was a state, some saints referred to the settlements of non-Mormons as "Gentile". This practice lasted only a couple decades at most, as non-Mormons quickly began moving into predominantly Mormon settlements and inter-mixing with them.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) does not publish membership statistics for any area smaller than a state. If you need information for a specific county or city you will have to contact the Church directly. However, having lived in the area of Salt Lake City all my life, I can tell you that Salt Lake City proper is one of the most liberal and non-Mormon areas of the state. Within city limits, the number of practicing Mormons is quite low, perhaps 15-25%, and those that are practicing Mormons are generally college students and young professionals who tend to be more liberal. However, the suburbs of Salt Lake City are really quite conservative and filled with large Mormon families, with neighborhoods averaging anywhere from 30%-90% practicing Mormons. Please note that these numbers represent practicing Mormons, they do not include non-practicing Mormons who are still included in Church membership records.
Well sure, some of us did. But others voted for David Cook. Non Mormons voted for David Archuleta also.
They don't. Maybe this is a local non-Mormon tradition?
No, I believe they attend a non-denominational Christian church.
Food... like non-perishable items
