The four largest religious groups in Nevada before 1900 were:

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
Methodist,
Protestant Episcopal,
Roman Catholic.

For a history of seven major denominations in Nevada, see Leon L. Loofbourow, Steeples among the Sage . . . (Oakland,California: Lake Park Press, 1964; FHL book 979.3 K2L).

The Family History Library has a few records for some Nevada churches. The largest collection of Nevada church records is for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
