According to Pew's Religious Landscape Study, 84% of LDS members say religion is "very important" in their daily lives — higher than Evangelical Protestants (79%), Catholics (56%), and the national average of 53%.
The gap between LDS members and the national average on daily importance of religion reflects a theology that permeates weekday life, not just Sunday worship. Among young-adult LDS, the figure is 80% — virtually identical to older members, suggesting the pattern is durable across generations.
