The only thing that shocks me is that Utah is not number one. I would have guessed that state if I was on Who Wants to be a Millionaire or Jeopordy or something like that.
You GOTTA quit believeing the crap the Morg Astroturfers are spewing!!

his list is based on responses to a Gallup Poll that asked a cross-section of Americans if religion is an “important part” of their lives.

HUMAN EVENTS is the news source President Reagan called his "favorite newspaper" and we still hold high the Reaganesque principles of free enterprise, limited government and, above all, a staunch, unwavering defense of American freedom.
NC voted for Obama, elected Hagan, has a Dem Gov and legislature. Sounds pretty blue to me.
Maybe Alaska is sunk by the Eskimos or Polar Bears that vote or were polled!
Perhaps it's too cold to sit through church.
Well, you know polls...we all give credence to the ones we agree with and dismiss the others.
Lot's of blue moved into the Raleigh-Durham and Charlotte areas in recent years.
Thanks very much for the LEAST RELIGIOUS list.
It’s ironic that a lot of these states were founded by RELIGIOUS people. Especially the Pilgrims.
If the Pilgrims were to land in modern-day Provincetown, Massachusetts: they would name it “New Sodom” and promptly head back to England.
Only Massachusetts. The rest of New England was founded by people the Puritans chased out.
I'm not shocked. If you consider that in a population of 2.8 million only about 70% are actually in "the church", however of that group of about 1.7 million Mormons roughly only one third (560,000)of them actually follow the religion. The rest of us are either called "apostates" or "jack mormons".
Always gives me a cold piercing feeling in my bosom and really helps take the religious spirit right out of me.
In fact I'm surprised the state isn't in the lower group.
You’ll be on the membership books until you’re 110, and they’ll use you as a tool for proselyting (as in, there are 13,000,000 Mormons) But in actuality you’re right. Only about 25 to 33% of Mormons are active and then some of those are only active because of the darned Utah society that places appearances over substance.
Hmmm...these seem to be from the south.
The only thing that shocks me is that Utah is not number one. I would have guessed that state if I was on Who Wants to be a Millionaire or Jeopordy or something like that.

I'm sure there is a poll, ahem, that was run by the MORMON Religious Organization® that's shows the LDS (SLC branch) LEADING in the qualities that make for good conservatives, family values, correct theology and all that stuff.
When HE returns; will HE find faith on the Earth?
We're praying for you; Tractor Boy! ;^)
Perhaps the UNasked question would be:
Is religion your life?
I don’t know, lucky #9 Oklahoma is usually pretty high in things that I would say most wouldn’t consider moral. Like teen pregnancy, divorce etc.
My Religion is Visible Every Day
I hate you!
