Most, if not all, Christian religions use, at some time or other, the King James Bible. It is a standard reference work for all Christians, and for students of theology and the Christian faith.
Limiting myself to US religious groups, I offer this answer: Because of the growth in Biblical scholarship, and the resulting plethora of more accurate and modern translations, the King James version of The Bible is no longer in common use outside Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, and some pockets of Southern Baptists and fundamentalist groups.
The King James translation is in the public domain, that means that book and pamphlet publishers don't have to acquire or pay for permission to use it. Therefore, the King James continues to be the most widely printed English-language translation.
No religion has primarily or exclusively endorsed the New King James Bible, however, it is used in many strains of Protestant Christianity, most especially Anglicans and Episcopalians.

No. The King James version of the bible has omitted parts of the original documents, hence removing essential traditions and teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church") uses the King James Version of the Bible (for English speakers), with no changes to the text. The church does publish it's own version which includes cross-references with the Book of Mormon, but members are welcome to use any King James Version Bible. Mormons speaking other languages use whatever Bible version is available in their language. The King James Version of the Bible is the most common Bible for English speaking Christians. Other popular Bible versions are the New King James, New International Version, and Revised Standard Version. Mormons are welcome to use other versions of the Bible for their personal study, but the official Bible of the Mormon Church is the King James. You are welcome to read the Mormon version of the King James Bible online or order your own paper copy at the "Related Links" below.
King James Verison.I must differ!Since we do not have any records to the contrary, the Bible in use at that time would have been the Geneva Bible. The King James version translators relied on the Geneva (as well as Wycliffe's translation) and was influenced by it. Jamestown was established in May 14, 1607 and the King James version was not completed until 1611.
