Re: How many Mormons in USA?

last time I looked into it was 2009, I found independent surveys that put the lds population at about 1.4% from 1990-2009.

Re: You will be astonished how insignificant the number

Less than 2% of the US population: 1.897%

Active members: 2,276,268

That comes Cumohah.com, a Mormon-friendly, independent research project.

Scroll down to: Major Religious Groups

They make a distinction between the official cult numbers and their derived, or more honest, numbers. These figures seem to be about five or six years old.

Even if you go by the church's claimed 6 million or so US members, that's only 2% of the 300+ million US population.
