Its report pegged U.S. Mormon growth at 45.5 percent, jumping from 4.2 million in 2000 to 6.1 million in 2010. The 2000 figure, however, was much lower than the 5.2 million listed in the LDS churchâ€™s own almanac for that year.

No matter if they counted differently its still a false religon and a false hurch.
