When discussing with your parents about not wanting to attend church, it is important to approach the conversation with honesty and respect. Clearly express your feelings and reasons for not wanting to go, and try to have an open and understanding dialogue with them. It may also be helpful to suggest alternative ways to explore your spirituality or beliefs that align more with your preferences.

What is the percentage of lds members that attend UVU?

Utah Valley University is a public university and cannot legally require it's students to reveal their religious preferences, therefore it is impossible to know exactly how many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints attend there. It is safe to assume that about 50% of the student body are actively practicing members of the LDS church, and at least 10% are baptized members that do not currently practice the faith. The church operates an Institute of Religion near campus, which offers free religion classes and recreational programs to students, regardless of religous affiliation. They also have several student congregations to serve the needs of LDS UVU students.
