Where is Mormon religion practice?

The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (the mormons) has over 13 million members worldwide. The largest concentrations are in the United States, Mexico and Brasil.

Currently Utah's population is approximately 50% mormon.


What state had the highest population of Mormons in the late 1800's?

I guess this depends on when in the late 1800's you are talking about. Many of the western states where Mormons settled were not actually states until the 1890's, they were territories. Either way, the answer would be Utah by far. Mormons settled almost the entire state of Utah. Southern Idaho and Northern Arizona had very high concentrations of Church members, but the rest of those states did not. There were also Mormon colonies and congregations in Wyoming, Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada, Canada, Mexico, the mid-west United States, Hawaii, New York, and Europe.

What percent of Mormons vote?

There are no official statistics kept on how many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) vote. Church members are encouraged to participate in their local governments by participating in elections, and we can safely assume that in the United States, voting among Mormons remains at or slightly above the national average. Mormons are probably more likely to vote if a candidate or policy of interest to them is on the ballot. About 60% of Mormons live outside the United States, some in democratic nations and some in non-democratic nations. Obviously these 60% do not vote in U.S. elections, but if there are elections in their nations they are encouraged to participate.


Why did Mormons move to the west?

The Mormons moved to the west because they were trying to leave the United States. They had been kicked out of Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois, and thought they would try their luck in what was then Mexico. Also, Joseph Smith had prophesied a few years before his death that the Church would eventually move to the Rocky Mountains. Soon after the Mormons arrived there, the United States took over the area.


What state of America do the Mormons come from?

If you are referring to the Mormon gathering in Utah, then most recently Missouri and Illinois, although there were Mormons also coming from England and many other places. Later, when the church was larger, the church started branches in other states and countries rather than only gathering in one area. Originally the church was organized in Fayette, NY.
