Researchers from various departments and colleges at Brigham Young University have written a new report detailing the religious lives of Latter-day Saints in the United States.
Drawing on multiple large datasets, the report states that members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have relatively higher levels of religiousness, well-being, and retention, even as religious activity has declined across the United States.
For those seeking to better understand religious life in modern America, this double-blind, peer-reviewed report offers a look at what national data shows not only about Latter-day Saints, but also the broader importance of faith, religious worship, and community in people’s lives.
