Is it only Mormons who get to be tied to Heavenly Father? Or is God no religion and people of many faiths can find God even spiritual people tied to no religion. It feels like Mormons have a monopoly on God's blessings and love at least in their minds. This has always led me to believe why Mormons get too judgful and prideful because in their mind everyone else is wrong and they are the only powerful ones.

I have noticed this too.

God is no religion and Christ is not a "Christian". He just is.

Many people find God, even those who do not attend any church. Many people are very happy with their lives and are often the kindest people on earth without being lds. Those that look beyond themselves and have faith and belief in a higher power are quite remarkable people who love a life of love and service to their brothers and sisters.

However...we do know that baptism by proper authority is needed as well as other ordinances. The location for this proper authority resides within this church. That is the catch we need to be careful about, to not be prideful.

There is truth to be found everywhere, we have no monopoly on happiness, sucess, blessings, faith, truth etc.

We believe that a man or woman may be saved into the celestial kingdom of God only by receiving all the saving ordinances of the gospel. We believe that those ordinances are only found within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We believe that those ordinances can only be performed by one having true authority from God to perform them. We believe that only those who have received the priesthood through those who hold the priesthood in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have the authority to perform the saving ordinances that will allow entrance into the celestial kingdom of God. We believe that the only true church upon the face of the earth that was set up by our Lord Jesus Christ is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We invite all mankind to come unto The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by faith, repentance, baptism, and the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost. We then invite them to endure to the end by receiving all the necessary ordinances of the gospel that will allow them to be saved in his celestial kingdom. The kingdom of heaven is at hand for all those who humble themselves and receive it. As the great prophet Alma declared:

Alma 42:27
27 Therefore, O my son, whosoever will come may come and partake of the waters of life freely; and whosoever will not come the same is not compelled to come; but in the last day it shall be restored unto him according to his deeds.

God is no respetor of persons in or out of the church. Success in life is contingent on how much light we gain and what we do with that light. The process of obtaining light started before we came here and goes beyond the grave.

Well if I may help out here. Just think the parable of the 10 virgins. There were 5 waiting with oil in their lamps, and 5 without oil in their lamps...but all 10 were supposed to be going to the wedding and to meet the bridegroom.

So my point is its better to just think we're all Heavenly Father's children and we all need to help each other. The only thing we can really think of is if we're willing to be mentored by Jesus going forward and that he wants to give us a deluxe super special brand new shiny life that's wonderful with all the extras and full of good things. But we can only do that if we're willing to follow him and that takes a bit of sacrifice. And we need to hang on till the end to get it and be with him.

There are a few prideful people out there for all religions so let's just try to not let them get to us. Remember we're here because we love Jesus and he loves us. That's all that matters. Let's go follow him and not worry about those less committed people.
