Which Salt Lake City housewives are true Mormons, and who has shunned the religion?
It's giving Mormon Wives vibes
Salt Lake City is the one Real Housewives franchise where couture and religion sit right next to each other at the dinner table, sometimes literally.
From loyal believers to women who’ve sprinted in the opposite direction, the cast’s relationship with the Mormon Church is honestly one of the most fascinating parts of the show.
And with Hulu’s Secret Lives of Mormon Wives adding even more noise to the conversation, everyone wants to know which RHOSLC stars still embrace LDS life and who’s done with it…

Lisa is basically the self-appointed ‘Mormon 2.0’, and honestly, the branding fits.
She’s spoken about being culturally Jewish but also part of LDS spaces, and she navigates that intersection in a very Lisa way, confident, cool, and not afraid to tell you she’s doing religion her way.
She isn’t the picture-perfect, rule-following stereotype, but she does identify with the culture enough that it shapes her story.
And yes, she recently stirred up a whole internet moment when, in a confessional, she claimed she sometimes donates bottles of her own liquor brand, Vida Tequila, to the Church of Satan…

Heather Gay is the show’s most outspoken ex-Mormon, and she owns it.
She’s been incredibly candid about leaving the church, the fallout, and how it reshaped her identity.
Her journey is a huge part of why conversations about faith, accountability, and autonomy sit so naturally within RHOSLC.
If anyone’s turning their personal history into something bigger and more illuminating, it’s Heather.
Meredith Marks

Meredith doesn’t just step outside Mormon culture, she twirls around it in designer boots.
She’s proudly Jewish, even celebrating an adult bat mitzvah on the show, and she doesn’t pretend to be anything she’s not.
Religion, for Meredith, is all about heritage, family and glam, leaning into tradition. Zero LDS alignment here.
Whitney Rose

Whitney has been clear from day one: she walked away from the church.
She wasn’t formally excommunicated; she just chose herself, her happiness, and a different kind of life.
She’ll speak on Mormonism when it’s relevant, but she’s not trying to return to those strict rules. Her spiritual vibe now is more about intuition and independence.
Mary Cosby

Mary’s journey is honestly one of the wildest.
She grew up with roots near LDS culture but moved into her own lane entirely, becoming a Pentecostal pastor.
Her faith influences everything from her speeches to her shade, and whether people love or question her, she is absolutely not Mormon.
