[Muslim YouthReligion is an important aspect of life for a majority of Muslim youth. The percentage of young Muslims who say faith is important (77%) is roughly similar to the proportion of young Protestants (74%).

Young Mulims are, however, far more likely than young Jews (42%) and Catholics (57%) to say that religion plays an important role in their daily lives, but such views on the role of faith are even higher for young Mormons (84%).

Although young Mormons (68%) are the most likely group surveyed to say they attend a place of worship at least once a week, both young Muslims and young Protestants report similar levels of weekly religious attendance, or 41% each, while young Catholics and Jewish youth are the least likely to say the same.

Young Muslims are among the most likely religious groups surveyed to say they smoke. Twenty-four percent of Muslim youth say they do versus 12% of Mormons, 16% of Jews, and 17% of Protestants in the same age group. In the United States, 26% of young people between the ages of 18 and 29 say they smoke.

Muslim youths are less likely than youths in other religious groups to be considered “thriving.” According to Gallup’s life satisfaction measures, 4 in 10 young Muslims are considered to be thriving, compared with almost 7 in 10 young Jews and 6 in 10 young Mormons. Nationally, slightly more than one-half of youth between the ages of 18 and 29 are considered to be thriving.

While a significant proportion of young Muslims (24%) say they are professional workers, they are

less likely than Jews in the same age group (33%) to report having a professional job. As a point of comparison, 21% of young Americans overall say the same.]

The smoking figures are worrying - why so high?

And also, Mormonism comes out high in religious activity and such-like because it is actually a very cultish church where they basically control the smallest detail of their memebers lives. I am surprosed they think 6 out of 10 Mormons are thriving because there is snowballing resignations from this church in the last few years and the people who leave the church are actually quite mentally scarred with their time in the cult. Utah has one of the highest prescription drug rates and very high depression rates as well. I go to ex-Mormon forums and it is very very eye-opening about how this church operates.
