                    And that's the meat of the problem.

                          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 Mormon Tabernacle Choir is really big.

                            The Tabernacle is really small.

                              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.
