Don't listen to anyone who posted above. Chances are very few have ever been to SLC, let alone lived there. I am a young, non-mormon who lives downtown in the Avenues area. I love it here. I had no trouble finding a job or a plave to live. I do not get hassled to become a mormon. I work with a lot of mormons and they are totally cool with non-mormons. The city is super clean, the people are friendly, the mountains are awesome, and the nightlife is way better then people make it out to be. I had many doubts myself before moving here. People on the website claim to be experts on subjects they have no clue about. This city is way more diverse and progressive then people give it credit for.

I'm LDS and live 1 hour north of Salt Lake City. The truth is, in Salt Lake itself, the Mormon population is about 48%, more Non-Mormons live there. You may have a somewhat dificult time with all the "mormon speak" that goes on here i.e. people talk about the church in everyday conversation, they probably won't try to push and push and push for conversion, but you'll probably see some of that too. It is a great place to live, crime is lower than many other large cities, and the outdoor sports are great, people are nice for the most part, and the area is beautiful. Anyway, good luck.

Yes you can, BUT you will be harrased to join their religion and from what I have seen on an A&E special last year, you will possibly be discriminated against and ran out of town. You will also find it hard to get loans, jobs, and such there unless you convert. I would definately visit there and do some investigating on it other than this site if you are SERIOUSLY considering it.If you are a Christian, then talk to your pastor or get some good BIBLICAL based advice first. Peace.

Grace unto you and peace,
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
A Salt Lake is also called a Dead Sea, kinda like the holy see called the Vatican, which is also law law instead of grace us.
Lot's wife looked back at the destruction of law worketh wrath, and notably being turned back, turned into a pillar, of salt.
Ye(do err, greatly, alway) are the salt of the earth.
POINT: "grace is sufficient" meaneth no law req'd.
POINT: "I will have mercy, and not sacrifice"
meaneth I will have grace, and not law law.

The God of all grace (no law) make you perfect
after ye (do err) suffer awhile (in yer law law).
The "grace"(only) of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Of course you can, it is still part of the USA, no one can tell you are not allowed to live where you want to,
However know that you might be uncomfortable, and be looked at as "fresh meat" for conversion. LOL
Sorry just a little joke...

you might want to research the various opinions on mormons before making that decision.

Sure, but you might find Park City is more to your liking
