Legal Polygamy: Utah Law Targets Polygamy

http://meandpolygamy.wordpress.com/legal-polygamy/

Utah Law states that

”The following ordinance shall be irrevocable without the consent of the United States and the people of this State: [Religious toleration -- Polygamy forbidden.] First: — Perfect toleration of religious sentiment is guaranteed. No inhabitant of this State shall ever be molested in person or property on account of his or her mode of religious worship; but polygamous or plural marriages are forever prohibited.” - Article 3 section -

So according to Article 3, you can believe whatever you want. And Utah will never prosecute you for your religious beliefs. However being a polygamist and acting upon your beliefs is completely out of the question.

Is it just me or does it look like Utah is specifically targeting Polygamy?
