A non-LDS friend of mine who grew up in a mostly-LDS town in Wyoming said that's the way she was treated. It's confusing to me, but then I don't have a lot of experience with Mormons. The ones I've known have been friendly to me, and I don't understand why they would be cold toward those who don't share their faith, unless the other people's behavior was obnoxious in some way.
I'm also not used to hearing Mormons put down other churches. Usually it's been the other way around: non-Mormons I've known put down the Latter-Day Saints, and their critique is not infrequently obtuse and/or hypocritical. I'd be interested to hear more about what you've heard Mormons say about other faiths.
