The Most / Least Religious States
When asked by Gallup, “Is religion an important part of your daily life?”, 65 percent of Americans indicated that it was.
Positive responses to the question indicated that the top ten most religious states were: Mississippi (85%); Alabama (82%); South Carolina (80%); Tennessee (79%); Louisiana (78%); Arkansas (78%); Georgia (76%); North Carolina (76%); Oklahoma (75%); Kentucky (74%) and Texas (74%).
On the other side, the ten least religious states were: Vermont (42%); New Hampshire (46%); Maine (48%); Massachusetts (48%); Alaska (51%); Washington (52%); Oregon (53%); Rhode Island (53%); Nevada (54%) and Connecticut (55%)
As I viewed the results I could not help but visualize the states as red states vs. blue states. An interesting correlation seems to be apparent.
