Religion News Service columnist Jana Riess reports on a new cellphone study that shows how many Latter-day Saints attend church weekly and monthly.
Pews in one of the two chapels at the 95 State meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City in 2022. New smartphone research shows how many Latter-day Saints attend weekly services.More than three-quarters of U.S. members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints describe themselves as attending church at least once a week, according to a, similarly found that 71% of members who live in Latter-day Saint areas of the U.S.
On the other hand, they are overclaiming weekly attendance “less so than most religions,” he noted. People of all religions exaggerated their weekly attendance. For Protestants, it was by a factor of four, so a bit more than the Latter-day Saint overreporting. But for some other religions, especially Catholics, Muslims, Jews and Jehovah’s Witnesses, the discrepancy was much higher.
Pope’s data can demonstrate other aspects of religious attendance as well. Most Christian groups, for example, show clear spikes in attendance at. That’s not the case for Latter-day Saints, who have a tiny bump — another clear sign that most of the just under 2 million people in the pews on a given Sunday are regular attendees.
Latter-day Saints had the lowest rates of going to strip clubs and liquor stores . They were about average in going to fitness clubs and casinos. To learn more about this, he dug deeper into the analysis by geographic area, thinking that maybe the homogeneity of Utah was skewing the results. However, he said, “if you eliminate Utah — or even if you eliminate the Intermountain West — we remain one of the least diverse places of worship.”
