While 84% of Americans consider the Holy Bible to be a holy book, a whopping three percent consider the Book of Mormon to be holy too. That may be low but it’s in good company (and over the Torah!?).
Only three books were recognized as holy by at least 1 percent of Americans. The Koran trailed behind the Bible in second place with 4 percent; the Book of Mormon as labeled by 3 percent as sacred/holy; and the Torah was deemed holy by 2 percent of the public.

All the more impressive given that only a scant 2% or so of the US population is (practicing or non-practicing) Mormon.

Good point David B.
And I guess the BoM and Torah numbers wouldn’t be too different from each other as there are roughly the same number of Jews as Mormons in the world (13 million) and in the U.S. (6 million).
