-How ‘Religious’ is Each State?
Here’s the interesting results of a recent poll by Pew. The research attempts to define the American states that are the most ‘religious’ and the ones which are the least measured by the percentage of those in each who claim that “religion is very important in their lives.” From Pew Research:
Mississippi, Alabama and other Southern states are among the most highly religious states in the nation, while New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine in New England are among the least devout, according to some of the key measures used to determine levels of religiosity in the Pew Research Center’s most recent Religious Landscape Study.
Here’s the top ten states:
1. Alabama 77%
1. Mississippi 77%
3. Tennessee 73%
4. Louisiana 71%
5. Arkansas 70%
5. South Carolina 70%
7. West Virginia 69%
8. Georgia 66%
8. Oklahoma 66%
10. North Carolina 65%
The bottom ten:
41. Colorado 47%
41. Hawaii 47%
43. New York 46%
44. Alaska 45%
44. Washington 45%
44. Wisconsin 45%
47. Connecticut 43%
48. Maine 34%
48. Vermont 34%
50. Massachusetts 33%
50. New Hampshire 33%

Response: With the 2016 presidential election on everyone’s mind, one might also expect a possible correlation between the religious fervor of each state and how the vote seems to go politically on a continuum between left and right, liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican. Alaska would be an obvious exception to that possible idea.
Interestingly my old state California is only # 35 on the list with 49% who claim to be serious about their religion. Many would expect it to be among the least but California is really several different states in one and a real enigma. Outside of the radical ‘liberal’ confines of San Francisco and Los Angeles metro areas it is largely conservative and at least it is more evenly divided in San Diego. There is a serious effort afoot (which undoubtedly will fail) to split the state in half or even thirds since the two large liberal metro areas out vote the rest of the folks in the state which is far more conservative. *Top
