Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are asked to refer to those outside of the church as "friends of other faiths" or "non-members." This is because the term 'Gentile' can be negative or alienating. However, historically and in scripture, non-Mormons have been called Gentiles, following the pattern of non-Jews being called Gentiles in The Bible. They do not mean this to be a derogatory term, it is just used as a title for those who are not Mormons.

What holiday do gentile do not celebrate?
Christmas .Another answer:The term "gentile" (upper or lower case) refers to anyone who is not of the Jewish race or faith; therefore gentiles do not celebrate Jewish holidays.(Mormons refer to non-Mormans as "gentiles," but this use of the word is unique to them.)

What do Mormons call non Mormons?
Most Mormons are not mean in calling non Mormons names. When referring to non Mormons, they are usually called non members. It's not to offend people, it's just when you're classifying all non Mormons, you have to say something. Former Church President Gordon B. Hinckley suggested called non Mormons "Friends of other faiths" as a kinder-sounding term, but it didn't really catch on. ^^Good answer. When referring to someone who is not a member of the church we call them non members. If they are a member but hardly ever go we just call them inactive. Its not in anyway to offend anyone.
