Thus, approximately 1 out of 7 people who I classify as a Latter-day Saint attends [religious service] weekly.
And:
However, only 5% of Americans attend services “weekly”, far fewer than the ~22% who report to do so in surveys.
Oh, and this:
The religions with the longest average visit duration are Orthodox Christians (116 minutes), Latter-day Saints (115 minutes), and Jehovah Witnesses (115 minutes). The religions with the shortest average visit duration include Muslims (51 minutes), Catholics (66 minutes), and Buddhists (71 minutes). Jews (92 minutes) and Protestants (102 minutes) have average durations in the middle of the distribution.
That is from a new Devin G. Pope paper on religious attendance, measured by using cellphone data rather than self-reports. Interesting throughout.
