Thanks for your insight....not that I would ever have considered voting for any republican asshole.
Don't pass off someone personally as a friend or someone you'd trust just because they are Mormon. Contrary to popular belief, they can keep their daily business lives and friendships separate from their religion depending on the person.
Other than going to church, the parts of the religion that involve their lives are the word of wisdom (coffee, tea, alcohol, tobacco, illegal drugs), the law of chastity (no pre-marital sex, porn, and they insist they don't masturbate ever but they are liars), the temple clothing (if they went through the endowment ceremony), and the rest depends on their personal morals and values.
Many families will have family home evening once a week which isn't really a bad thing. They spend a night with their families playing games, talking, and doing scripture study (the only down side).
So the religion involves much of their life but if you see them at work or they are like your agent for real estate, insurance, sales, etc. nothing about them being Mormon will really stand out or interfere with a professional relationship.
