Mormon culture is as wide and diverse as its members. The first thing that may come to mind to many when they hear the words "mormon culture" is the Utah mormon culture, as that is the current headquarters of the Church. This also has much to do with its history and establishment by Mormon pioneers led by the second prophet of the Church, Brigham Young, after the martyrdom of Prophet and founder Joseph Smith in Nauvoo, Illinois.
Utah Culture
The Utah culture of the Mormon Church has been both widely praised and criticized. Many compliment the friendliness of the people, while others make fun of sterotypes such as the "Molly Mormon" and the "Peter Priesthood", indicating a very narrow scope of personality that one would find amongst Utah Mormons.
