I think it is important for those of us who live in heavily Mormon areas, unless your unbelief is in the closet for personal reasons, to find ways to quietly advertise to everyone around you that you are not a Mormon. This could be as simple as having a cross or other religious symbol prominently displayed near your front door, or having a Darwin fish.
The point is to let Mormons know that there are a vast number of people around them in Utah, who are not Mormon, and who are proud of their beliefs. This is important for two reasons.
1st, it reminds them that they are not alone in the state, and that they can't be constantly stepping on everyone else's rights, though most of them are probably too dense to realize that is what it means, and more importantly,
2nd, that if they have doubts or don't believe, that they are not alone. As soon as those who are not TBM, realize that they are the silent majority in the state, the state will change.
We can call it the Non-Mormon Pride Movement, and we need to find ways to let people know that is who we are.
Hell, we may even need bumper stickers that blatantly say "Non-Mormons are citizens too," or "Not all of us want to be bossed around by fifteen old dudes."
