One question:

Upon moving to Utah, has any non-Mormon of any denomination or faith felt threatened or forced to adjust their practice of worship?

The whole issue is a straw dog.

You're kidding, right? There is plenty on the internet start here.

Leavitt looked to faith for philosophy of government
Governor and his top advisers had 'seminary' meetings to discuss the role of LDS teachings in government

Many of my large extended family members live in Utah and tend to line up under three religions: Mormon, Catholic and Lutheran (as well as other denominations). Every religion that is in the U.S. is also in Utah to include Pagans, Hindus, etc. As far as I know, there has been no ethnic nor religious cleansing in the state.

Some deplore Mormon influence, in Utah and in surrounding states where the Mormons are strong. But, heck, the Mormons were there first, even before the region was part of the United States. Indeed, they came to escape American persecution. More than a hundred years ago, they made peace with US authority, so they have earned their position. .

Maybe not, but they definitely feel ostracized. When my uncle and his family moved to a predominantly Mormon area, their kids were left out of most social events. They were not threatened, but they were definitely excluded from activities.
