Religion News Service breaks down nine key findings from Pew Research Center's new report on American Latter-day Saints, which shows members have grown more diverse and slightly less religious while more are leaving the church. The article synthesizes the data into accessible takeaways.

The trends include declining weekly worship attendance, reduced scriptural literalism, rising racial diversity, and increased disaffiliation rates compared to prior generations. RNS contextualizes the findings within broader American religious decline and the Church's efforts to retain members.
