The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) reported over 15 million baptized members worldwide in October 2013. The Church does not report on how many of it's members are actively practicing the faith, since it is difficult to keep track of those numbers.
As of 2007, there were approximately 6.3 million Mormons living in the United States.
