Interesting that in Utah the top two are Mormons (a course) and Unaffiliated...

Oregon: Evangelicals and Unaffiliated about neck-and-neck at 30 & 27%. That explains everything.

Wow! So the "stone rolling forth to fill the whole earth" means a stone rolling forth to fill approximately 58% of Utah, 23% of Idaho, 11% of Nevada, 2-5% of the states that share a common border (or a point--thanks New Mexico!) with one of those 3, and 1% or less of everywhere else.

I don't know about anyone else, but color me impressed.

[ETA: Also makes sense now why the church is so Utah-centric; once you cross the borders you really are in Babylon--outside of Idaho, maybe, which is like some sort of intergalactic neutral zone. Those damn Catholics and their "whore of all the earth" are beating the Mormons everywhere except Zion!! (though the Mormons haven't quite completely abandoned the fight for the neutral zone territory)]
