Despite having a few working theories, I haven't identified causation... but I firmly believe there is a high correlation between MLMs and religiosity. I also have ZERO statistical data to back that up. It's my own anecdotal observation based on years in and around religious people. And people who try to peddle their wares in the foyers of churches...
Freudian typo?Morons are for some reason a big target. When I was in SoCal, the mormons started to flood in
I mean... I wasn't going to name denominations... ;-) BUT... I can say from experience... that Utah is chokabok full of MLMs... Nuskin, Tahitian Noni, Thrive, DoTerra, Newways, Young Living, Younique, Jamberry, and Xango off the top of my head... It's something in the person's beliefs about evangelism mixed with level of devotion sprinkled with loyalty and a hint of crazy...
There's a strong correlation between being Mormon and having a stay-at-home wife/mother to begin with, isn't there? I wonder if a religion/MLM correlation would hold up across different religions. The only non-Christian example I can think of is that people into crystal healing seem to be super into the essential oil MLMs. But people I know who are super into buddhism never seem to do MLMs, for example.
