Utah has the highest percentage of Mormons compared to any other state in the United States.
Utah has the most mormons
Every state! There are over six million members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) living in the United States, and at least several thousand Mormons in each state. The western US has a higher concentration of Mormons than the east, and Utah has the highest concentration with about 60% of the state being practicing Mormons.
Many Mormons live in the state of Utah, where there is a significant population of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Utah is considered the religious headquarters for Mormons, with Salt Lake City being their most prominent city.
As of 2021, there are approximately 180,000 Mormons living in Colorado. This number represents about 3% of the state's population.
There are approximately 44,000 Mormons in Michigan.
Utah had the highest population of Mormons in the late 1800's. This was due to the historical migration of Mormons to the area following their persecution in other regions. Utah remains the state with the highest percentage of Mormons in the United States today.
Utah.
Yes, definately. There are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) in every state of the US. There are over 6 million Mormons in the United States. The state with the largest number of Mormons is Utah with 1.8 million Mormons. The state with the fewest number of Mormons is Rhode Island, with about 4,000 Mormons.
Utah was settled by Mormons.
The "Mormons" were never given a state or made a state. The Mormons suggested a state called Deseret, but it was denied and was never made a state. The state of Utah became a state in 1896 during the administration of Grover Cleveland. The boundaries were drawn by the federal government and the name was chosen by the government as well. The population of the state was mostly Mormon, but there was a sizeable population of other religious groups as well. So, Grover Cleveland gave statehood to Utah, not to Mormons. Most Mormons at the time lived within Utah, but they did not choose the boundaries or the name.
Yes, Mormons do consider themselves to be Christians. In the US, Utah is the state with the largest number of Mormons. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has approximately 15 million members throughout the world.
Mormons saw both pros and cons for Utah Territory becoming a recognized state. They were not happy with the extra government control that would come from being a state - Mormons had established Utah's government, political system, legal system, laws, and education system, but much of this would have to be changed or done away with if they were granted statehood. However, Mormons in Utah also wanted to have a say in national politics, vote for president, have representatives in congress, etc. Some Mormons resisted Utah territory becoming a state, but most actually supported the idea. After all, Mormons had been trying to be accepted as a state for decades with their proposed state of Deseret.
While no official state nickname is the "Mormon State", Utah is sometimes called the Mormon state because Mormons settled it and the majority of residents (60%) are practicing Mormons. While Mormons live in all states and almost all countries, about 10% of the 14.5 million Mormons worldwide live in Utah.
Utah has a remarkable history. Probably the most important event in the history of Utah is the settling of the area by Mormons who moved to escape religious persecution.
This question is based on an incorrect supposition. Not all Mormons are liars; most Mormons are not liars.
All states in the US are inhabited by mormons, Utah having the largest population.

Some say that the Mormons had to denounce polygamy before Utah became a state. This may or may not be true, as the plans to make Utah a state were in action before the Church officially denounced polygamy. Either way, Mormons arrived there in 1847, Utah became a territory in 1850, Mormons ended polygamy in 1890, and Utah became a state in 1896.
