Lots of similiarities, a little spooky even.
Even Mormons can become inactive.

Thanks Rebel. I remember reading that chart, but couldn't remember where it was. My favorite is they call their old organization The Morg and we call ours The Borg. It really is weird.

Are there any inactive athiests?

There are approx 13/14 million lds on the books but only about 3/4 million active. Returned missionaries are one of the groups most likely to leave.
In every ward I've been in in the uk the average number on the books was between 300 to 500 and the active ( attending church meetings in one quarter) range from 80 to 150.
The lds church is dying from the inside out. It is still baptising a fair number but it retains almost no new converts and the vast majority of its growth is children born in. The lds church has got boring.

There must be more than 13/14 million... haven't they been 'baptising' the dead they can name since the 1600's?
