I dunno, most of the state outside of SLC is pretty good.. I would even say pretty libertarian. It's mostly the city that has the huge problems. Marilyn Manson was from the bible belt, so maybe more strict religions do produce a more extreme rebelliousness in some cases.. but the Mormons are a lot different now than they used to be and it's becoming a problem. They are so nice and accepting of outsiders, but they used to have very high standards for themselves. Now they are accepting to a fault, even among members. They say it's ok to be LGBTQ and be Mormon, you just can't act on it, for example.. that didn't used to be a thing.
They also allow tattoos and piercings now (besides female single ear piercings), I guess they don't recommend it, but they don't do a lot to discourage it, they say if you want tattoos or piercings you should consider the costs, but if you really want to do it then pray about it. They used to be the fastest growing religion in the world by % in the 90s, I think since then they have started to shrink in numbers. That's part of why they have lowered standards..
There is also legitimate debate over whether Utah is a sanctuary state for illegals, which is becoming a huge problem. Illegals know Utah is a friendly state for them to come to.
