I used to work for a company that was very liberal because it started in "The People's Republic of Cambridge" which is a somewhat derogatory name for Cambridge, MA. Then, we were bought by a company from Provo, Utah. Yes, they all seem to be Mormon! It is a very different religion/lifestyle from anything I am used to.
When the Olympics were in Utah, SNL did this hilarious skit with Mormon guys in suits skiing next to the competetors with the book trying to make converts. It was great!
