I'm not religious but I think for the most part it instills good values and builds strong communities, that's been my experience. Some people get screwed up from pretty much every religion. Born-again protestants seemed more cultish to me growing up, but they probably overall had a positive impact compared to being non-religious. My biggest issue with people who are not religious is that so many end up worshiping the government, vote leftist, push cultural marxism and are anti-families.
The vast majority of people here are against Utah being a sanctuary state, but the problem is Mormons are taught to be so kind and accepting that it can lead to leftist tendencies - the reason being that you aren't really supposed to discuss politics at church, so people confuse the teachings of being kind with government mandating they can take your money and give it to other people rather than being personally charitable. On the other hand, Mormons believe that the Constitution is a sacred document that was heavily influenced by God, so for the most part people seem to get it.
