Although, to answer the question, between 4-16% of them.
From wiki:
According to a report produced by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life the self-identified religious affiliations of Utahns over the age of 18 as of 2008 are:[9]
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints 58% (labeled as Mormon on survey)
Unaffiliated 16%
Catholic 10%
Evangelicals 7%
Mainline Protestants 6%
Black Protestant Churches 1%
No Answer 1%
Other Faiths 1%
Buddhism <.5%
Eastern Orthodox <.5%
Hinduism <.5%
Islam <.5%
Jehovah's Witnesses <.5%
Judaism <.5%
Non denominational <.5%
Other World Religions <.5%
Margin of error +/- 6%"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984

Re: 2014: Farewell to a kidney stone of a year
To answer Dr. Jones' question, nope, never once since I've been old enough to remember; since then I've only ever been in churches for weddings and funerals."The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984
