Default Not sure what religion has to do with it

I can understand how some people might not understand a culture. But, with that being said, LDS or non-LDS, does it matter? Just be friendly. Usually, if you are friendly, people will be friendly back From what I can see, most LDS people are usually very nice & friendly...of course, there are always the outliers, as there are with any group of people.

I have to say that you are wrong that there are more or as many Mormons in Utah in Idaho/Boise. Here are some stats. The only county in Idaho that has more Mormons per capita is Franklin County which includes Pocatello.
But they only reason it does is because Franklin County only has 12,000 plus people and Utah County has 530,000. So yes mathematically its more because there are fewer people in Franklin County!!



Idaho LDS (Mormon) – 22.8%
Utah LDS (Mormon) 58%
Source Wikipedia


The top 10 U.S. cities and counties with the highest percentage of Mormons:

1. Provo-Orem,UT 88.1%
2. Salt Lake City-Ogden,UT 59.2%
3. Pocatello, ID 47.2%
4. Boise, ID 14.8%
5. Flagstaff, AZ 12%
6. Richland-Kennewick,WA 6.9%
7. Las Vegas,NV 5.6%
8. Grand Junction,CO 5%
9. Phoenix,AZ 4.9%
10. Casper,WY 4.7%

And yeah dont worry the LDS influence is not bad at all. Its not noticeable at all. I have no problems here and I am an Atheist! They do their own thing and I do mine!
