In the interests of valid statistics, whatever that means, I am 25 and atheist/apatheist/agnostic. Depending on how they're defined, I suppose.

This is interesting. Last time I did a similar poll, the believers and non-believers were pretty easily matched, with about half of the believers being Mormon.

The results of this poll show (so far) the believers definitely outnumbering non-believers, with non-LDS believers being about twice as many as LDS.

Hatrack is an ever-changing beast. Of course those who do or do not choose to respond play a part in that too.

5 Jews
9 Catholic/Roman Catholics
2 Jehovah's Witnesses
1 7th Day Adventist
6 Methodists
1 Mennonite
1 Taoist
1 Southern Baptist
1 Sith
Total, 49

and

46 Agnostic/Atheist/Non-denominational/No answer/I don't know yets

So, of the 95 people that have responded so far, only 10 are LDS under the age of 25.

No wonder steve was having such a hard time posting. Young Mormons are nearly 10% of the board! [Roll Eyes]

Cripes, it's a whole statistical consolidation and everything. I'm not actually LDS, in case I'm being counted as one. That was a joke. I figured if we were going to do a a/s/r? thread, I needed to fit the stereotype that started it.

Quiet you. I'm trying to conform to the hypothetical Hatrack norm so that I'll get more hits on the Hatrackers I'd like to date thread. Also, I heard that those Mormons can marry like 10 girls and the girl I hooked up with over the 4th of July has a twin sister. Seriously, how freaking sweet would that be?

I compiled everything too, because I got bored.

But, for those who are also bored, I made a colorful pie graph. Two actually, since the question was how many young Mormon hatrackers there were. I used 30 as the cutoff age, even though I don't consider 30 to be that old, because boards like this traditionally skew young.

Also, I should of course tell you that this is in no way statistically valid, since response was voluntary. I suspect it's fairly accurate, but who really knows.

Anyway, graphs and percentages here.

Squicky, you can like the non-Utah people as long as you're okay with the knowledge that they aren't going to the special utah section of heaven [Wink]

35, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

ElJay:
"Annie, we were asked to respond to a poll. How are those of us who were raised in and/or practice another religion trying very hard to prove we're not Mormon?
------------------------------------------------------------------------"

I think the main thing is there is a disproportional representation of areligionists. And she's right, this does tend to be true of Salt Lake City and particularly the U of U. People who do practice another religion tend to do so very privately, which I think is fine. But the resistance against Mormonism is very obvious in every area of public life not directly controlled by the church.

Sheesh.

Y'all can't wait till tomorrow when . . . hey, where's the post from the person who said they had it all in a spread sheet and would post it tomorrow?

Yeah, I do. But the question was what percentage of hatrack do young mormons make up, and I didn't have room on the chart to write "Catholic, methodist, taoist, SDA, Jehovah's witness, Jewish, non denominational christian, congregationalist, mennonite, baptist, church of final atonement, and jedi".

A bigger complaint, especially from you, Rivka, is that I group the Jewish people under Christian (which, of course, you're most emphatically not).
