Charles McCollum: The question, 'Are you LDS?' seems to be very accepted in Utah.
The angel Moroni statue atop the Salt Lake Temple is silhouetted against a cloud-covered sky, at Temple Square in Salt Lake City on Feb. 6, 2013.| Updated: April 1, 2023, 1:26 p.m.There’s a private little guessing game people in our state play when they meet each other. We’re all so used to the routine we don’t even know we’re doing it, but it’s a big part of the unique experience that is life in the Beehive State.
Barring a definitive reading from the behavior or vibe of the new acquaintance, some Utahns just outright ask, “Are you LDS?” Most of us simply want to get along, and this piece of personal information aids navigation of the relationship tension free. If you’re a non-Mormon and tend to drop an occasional F-bomb, you’ll likely temper your talk in the presence of a devotee. If you are a member of the faith and tend toward church ward lingo, this might be tempered, too.Either way, getting an accurate reading on each other’s religious leanings seems to be a Utah imperative.
Conversely, non-Mormons running for local office often make it a point not to tip their hand and risk alienation of the dominant voting bloc.
