I lived in Mormon country for 6 years and it was the only time in my 75 years that I was discriminated on because of my religion.. I have none which even makes it more interesting...I was interviewing for a copier repair job , the interview was conducted by a brother sub sailor and at the end he simply said Bob I can't give you the job because your not a Mormon and the route is 80% Mormon . I interviewed for job selling Fords (yeah I was getting desperate) the dude's eyes were lighting up when we reviewed my qualifications.. The last question was are you a Mormon.. My no answers turned off the lights in his eyes..
Now to be fair I lived in a highly Mormon community for 6 years and was treated with respect and had no problem.. My boss was a big Mormon but I never had a missionary come to my house..So I will not use his faith not to vote for him (there are a million reasons already in my list) It would serve you well to look at this film titled "A MORMON CANDIDATE"
yeah, i grew up in Mormon country, and they really let you know it if you weren't Mormon. For example, you couldn't go to the dances at the Mormon church, even though 80 percent of your classmates got to go. Even if you had a Mormon girlfriend, you still couldn't get in. So much for freedom of religion.
