A new poll from Gallup shows the state of church participation in the U.S. on a state-by-state basis:
PRINCETON, NJ — Mississippians were the most frequent churchgoers in the nation in 2009, as was the case in 2008, with 63% of residents attending weekly or almost every week. Nine of the top 10 states in church attendance are in the South; the only non-Southern state is Utah, with 56% frequent attendance. At the other end of the spectrum, 23% of Vermont residents attend church frequently, putting it at the bottom of the list of churchgoing states. Other states at the bottom of the church attendance list are in either New England or the West.
Read all about it in the Gallup article, “Mississippians Go to Church the Most; Vermonters, Least.”
Tip of the hat the Matthew Yglesias.
