Survey of Mormons

Here are some of the results of a new survey of Mormons by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.

• Mormons make up less than 2% of the U.S. population.
• 97% of Mormons overwhelmingly consider themselves to be Christians. 
• 62% say Americans know little or nothing about their religion. 
• 46% see a lot of discrimination against Mormons. 
• 63% say acceptance of their faith is rising. Seven of 10 Mormons scored highly on worship attendance, frequency of prayer and the view that religion is important in their lives.
