In a recent Gallup Poll South Carolina ranked third in the top most religious states. No shit? Only Mississippi and Alabama ranked higher.
The question that Gallup asked was, “Is religion an important part of your life?” Vermont ranked highest in the least religious state category with all of New England in the top five. It’s too bad my wife can’t stand the cold.
What amazes me (not really) is look at the comparison between Gallups religiosity map and the presidential red state/blue state map. 
Draw your own conclusions.
