Utah is such a special, creepy little standout enclave among the states. I've worked with a few Mormon coworkers who are genuinely wonderful people whom I adore, but they are, as a group, militant in a way that's hard to describe.

You should at least try to describe it more specifically if you're casting shade on a huge population. Otherwise you just look like a bigot assigning traits to tens of millions of people based on a few people with the same religion that you know. I grew up Mormon and I've also lived and worked among mostly non Mormon populations, and I would say most Mormons are actually not militant.

Turns out Mormons are just people too with a huge diversity of personality.

I could have been clearer, but the group I'm describing is only the Mormons I've known, and I don't mean militant in a bad way - professional, polished, hardworking. I'm sure there are lazy Mormons as there are lazy people in any large population, I just haven't met one.
