What is the only US state with the majority of its people belonging to a single religion?

If you've chosen the 4th answer, you're right!

Approximately 62% of Utahns are reported to be members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or LDS (Mormons), which greatly influences Utah culture and daily life. Its world headquarters is located in Salt Lake City. Utah is the only state with a majority population belonging to a single church.

Utah is the 13th-largest, the 31st-most populous, and the 10th-least-densely populated of the 50 United States. By the way, Utah has a population of nearly 3 million (Census estimate for July 1, 2015), approximately 80% of whom live along the Wasatch Front, centering on the state capital Salt Lake City.

I wish people would stop using the word religion when they actually mean denomination or sect. The three major religions are Christtianity, Judaism and Muslim. Each of these has various sects or denominations. So the real question should have referred to the denomination, not the religion. Mormons are Christians, as are Catholics, Greek Orthodox, Methodists, Baptists, and many others.

I read that as 'region'. Not 'religion'. Hahaha. Got it right since I live in Utah and am LDS and the Salt Lake/Ogden/Provo area is where the majority of Utahns live anyway.

Also a beautiful state: Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, etc.

Larry Freeman. I have found this club only recently and love it. I'm normally shoot straight to the eagle nests whenever I'm on the internet because I'm a truly an Eagleholic. But quizzclub makes my brain more active from these questions...but not being an American is quite disadvantaged because many questions are related to the America.

Mary Anne Kalbfus, Christianity and Judaism are religions. A Muslim is one who practices Islam.

Mary Anne Kalbfus, the key word in your rant is MAJOR. There are many more than three religions in the world and LDS is more closely akin to Scientology than Christianity.

twohowlingdogs, That's okay I'm a Southern Baptist, so I cannot hold anyone else's religion against another brother in Christian !!!!!!

Mary Anne Kalbfus, Sorry you are wrong. In order to be a Christain you must be a follower of Jesus Christ and you cannot believe that you will attain God like Status.
