I didn't look too hard for anything current. So unless there has been a mass migration of cathloic folks to Boise the last 10 years, I'll assume LDS still hold the top spot given their proximity to Utah and the growth of that religion in the area..

I'd be happy to look at something that shows the dominant religion as Catholic..
Do you have anything?

religion is off topic in this thread... but you're right in the boise METRO lds is 15% and the majority..but Boise city like salt lake city proper is much lower 10% and boise city is where the bulk of the basque community is...
Even church publication puts boise metro at 64,000 lds members..
so you do the math... one rinky dink temple..
church is shrinking here inspite of what you might think.. I have a friend that wants to get married and she's lds.. she took a job in west valley utah teaching this fall because she says there's a better "husband pool" down there..
I found that hard to believe.. she really didn't want to move, but didn't see her life going where she wanted it to go here in boise with the dating pool and her beliefs...
mind you the church would be considering myself and my boyfriend as part of that 15 percent LDS population...
which is laughable...I would suspect the church does the same thing in utah...
