The Wikipedia article on the Latter Day Saint movement, the family of denominations tracing their origin to Joseph Smith's 1830 founding of the Church of Christ, reporting that its constituent churches collectively have nearly 18 million nominal members as of 2022, of which The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints itself accounts for about 98 to 99 percent, with the Community of Christ the second-largest at about 252,000 members as of 2019 and a scattering of smaller denominations, including fundamentalist groups, accounting for the remainder.

Reliability Tier3
Tertiary reference aggregating each constituent denomination's own reported membership figures across the whole movement into one table rather than any single primary source; used here only for the MOVEMENT-WIDE aggregate and the second-largest denomination's own figure, not for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' own membership fact, which this axis's standing decided case (46/20260813-DN-001) already covers on a separate entity.
