Statistician Ryan Burge works to understand the landscape of American religion — and that includes preferences and habits of LDS Church members.
Overall, 35% of Americans in November 2020 supported banning transgender people from military service, while 60% of white evangelicals and 46% of Latter-day Saints favored a ban.This is the only paragraph in this article not made by Burge, but I found it interesting and related to the rest of the data: The number of Latter-day Saints in Congress is at a relatively low point.
From at least 2009 to 2020, double-digit numbers of congressional members told the Pew Research Center they were Mormon — and the same was true in 1969, 1979, 1989 and 1999,. Now, though, Congress is down to nine Latter-day Saint respondents. The recent retirements or political defeats of Sens. Tom Udall, D-N.M.; Jeff Flake, R-Ariz.; and Dean Heller, R-Nev., pushed the list down to nine. Now, it’s Utah’s six-man political contingent, plus Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho; and Reps.
