Where do God-fearing real Americans most like to live? They would be in
Mississippi, which leads the nation in religious belief.

Where are the godless heathens hiding from the Lord? Head on up New
Hampshire and Vermont (damn hippie commies) .

Which of the 50 states has the most religious population? Since there are
many ways to define "religious," there is no single answer to this
question. But to give a sense of how the states stack up, the Pew Research
Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life used polling data to rank them on
four measures: the importance of religion in people's lives, frequency of
attendance at worship services, frequency of prayer and absolute certainty
of belief in God. Mississippi stands out on all four, and several other
Southern states also rank very high on the measures.
