Interesting comment "While white evangelical Protestants are losing adherents, they remain the dominant religious force among Republicans — more than one-third (35 percent) of Republicans are white evangelicals, a stable proportion for the last 10 years."

Interesting stats. Despite the anecdotal evidence that the Mormons are hemorrhaging young folks, they are the second youngest sect in the US. Only Muslims are younger.

And “unaffiliated” was larger than any group in the survey.

I don't think it's just anecdotal. The data from Jana Riess's survey backed it up.

Hard to tell. How large was the sub sample of LDS millennials and, thus, the associated MOE?
