One cultural trait that most uniquely influences the general culture of the state of Utah compared to others is its predominant religion, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS Church). The influence of the LDS Church is deeply rooted in Utah's history, politics, social norms, and daily life. It shapes various aspects of Utah's culture, including values, family structure, community involvement, education, and recreational activities. This religious influence sets Utah apart from other states and creates a distinctive cultural atmosphere that is often referred to as the "Mormon culture" or the "Utah Mormon culture."
