Among Christians in the US, Catholicism runs second to all branches of Protestantism (Catholics 25%, Protestant 52%, LDS 2%).
However, in terms of numbers when denominational families are broken down, the 10 largest religious groups in the US are:
Catholic - 50.8 million
Baptist - 33.8 million
Methodist - 14.1 million
Lutheran - 9.6 million
Presbyterian - 5.6 million
Pentecostal/Charismatic - 4.4 million
Episcopalian/Anglican - 3.5 million
Judaism - 2.8 million
LDS/Mormon - 2.7 million
Churches of Christ - 2.6 million
Congregational/UCC - 1.4 million
Jehovah's Witnesses - 1.3 million
Assemblies of God - 1.1 million
P.S. According to the same source -- worldwide, there are more Catholics than all other Christians, and more LDS than Baptists.

No it only seems that way as Catholics are not so in your face as say Fundamentalists and the like,also there are so few Catholic t.v stations I can think of only EWTN as compared to the dozens of Protestant denominations.
