Fewer than half the residents of Salt Lake County belong to the Mormon church, according to new figures that illustrate how Utah's largest county is becoming more religiously diverse. Mormons account for 49 percent of the 1.1 million residents in Salt Lake County — the lowest percentage since at least the 1930s, The Salt Lake Tribune reports. Salt Lake County includes Utah's capital, Salt Lake City, which has long been more religiously diverse. If that's true, it would mean only about 24 percent of Salt Lake County residents are active Mormons. Utah County has the second most residents behind Salt Lake County.
