73.4% of LDS Describe Themselves as 'Very Religious' — 2x Every Other Group

73.4% 'very religious' vs ~37% Protestants, Muslims, Catholics

According to Pew's 2023-24 Religious Landscape Study, 73.4% of LDS members describe themselves as "very religious" — more than double the rate reported by Protestants, Muslims, and Catholics, all of whom cluster around 37%.

The high self-reported religiosity is consistent with behavioral measures including weekly church attendance (64-69%, Pew 2023-24) and GPS-verified attendance data from the University of Chicago showing LDS attendance at 3x the national average.
