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.

Why do Mormons call non-members gentiles?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are asked to refer to those outside of the church as "friends of other faiths" or "non-members." This is because the term 'Gentile' can be negative or alienating. However, historically and in scripture, non-Mormons have been called Gentiles, following the pattern of non-Jews being called Gentiles in the Bible. They do not mean this to be a derogatory term, it is just used as a title for those who are not Mormons.
Why was cedar city the first non Mormon in Utah?
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).
What is the name of the settlements called for the non-Mormons?
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.
What do you call the jewish people?
The Jewish people used to be called Israel, until the political state was established. You can call them the chosen people, or simply 'Jews', in the same way that you would call Mormons 'Mormons'.
