I agree with joeyboots. Though religion is losing its footing in places like the US and Europe, some of the most populous countries (India, Nigeria, Brazil) are super religious, so due to increasing birthrates in those places, religion is nowhere near gone.

You should take a closer look at the birth rate for Brazil. It is at similar level as in developed nations such as the US and UK.

I stand corrected. Brazil's birthrate is actually lower than the U.S.'s! You learn something new every day.

@Lucasc how could you possibly say it's sad NOT to see religion go? Even if you personally aren't religious, I challenge you to name a time in history when a society dominated by atheism didn't devolve into mass genocide. And before you cite the track record of organized religion, name a society where religion was widely practiced but NOT FORCED that was chaotic and/or destructive.

@MasterKenobi I'm assuming you're referencing the USSR, which preached agnosticism at the end of its days. However, Norway now has more people who don't believe in God than do, and is consistently ranked as one of the best nations in the world in all aspects (quality of living, life expectancy, etc.) Meanwhile, Protestantism was certainly not forced in Germany before the Nazi regime officially took power - instead, people were fueled by a de facto anti-Semitism. Now, I'm not saying religion is bad or agnosticism is good. I'm just saying you should probably do your research before making absurd comments on a JetPunk quiz.

When you say "I don't know anyone who ....", think about it for a minute. You're really saying something about yourself. People who DO go to church could say the exact opposite.

Texas and Florida do have distinct cultures - broadly speaking. But leave the cities in both states, and you're entering Deep South territory that flies the Stars and Bars proudly and where many believe that another secession might be necessary again one day to protect culture and heritage. Kind of like rolling back the clock a few decades.

Back 40+ years ago Atlantic Magazine ran a cover article called "The Seven States of Texas" or something like that, making the point that there were a number of distinct cultures (social, political, religious, cultural, etc.,) that co-existed but did not mix in Texas. And, if I remember correctly, that prompted a number of letters from readers from Texas who complained that this article unfairly stereotyped Texans. I guess the lesson to take from that is that some Texans look at any outside commentary as biased. And maybe they're right.

Clip from a movie that takes place in 1970s East Texas -- splits Texas into 5 (actually 6) states:
"Of course I left out the Panhandle, and a lot of people do... Carthage, this is where the South begins."

Texas from around I-35 east is the South, or basically as Southern as it gets. It's not the same South as the Carolinas or Tennessee, but neither is Arkansas or Louisiana, and no one would doubt their Southern credentials. Dallas and Houston, and even Austin, resemble other big Southern cities like Atlanta or Charlotte more than anywhere else (Austin is a bit different but is most like an overgrown New Orleans, Asheville, Nashville, or Athens/other college town). Once you get further west than I-35 though, things start to get much more Western/Southwestern than the eastern chunk of Texas.

I think the sheer population size of Texas makes it difficult for the state to qualify. Utah's population is about 3 million, so it ranks first because around 1.5 Utahans to church. Texas, on the other hand, has around 27 million people, so it's a lot harder to get to that 51% (or 40% to make the list). There are a lot of big cities in Texas, where people are less likely to go to church.

51% is quite a lot if you really think about it. That means you can find half the state of Utah in church any given Sunday. That doesn't even include the people who go to church on Christmas and Easter.

I got the email that it would be featured two days ago, and that's when I got the picture and the format changed a bit (you can see what it used to look like on my other quiz about the lowest percent church attendance). This is my first feature though and I'm really excited!

Bad news how? Details please. Q5 believes that we should be considered "lucky" since the numbers are going down. I would content the opposite, that many of our problems in the US are due to people being too into themselves and not looking for ways to humble yourself and serve others. Guilty here, but working on it.

Is there a correlation between this and US News best state rankings -
https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings (ranks health care, education, economy amongst other things)? 5 out of 10 are at the bottom of the table and with the notable exception of Utah (#7), the rest are all ranked below 25?
benzeller

Feb 4, 2018
Correlation - yeah, probably. Causation - probably not. I doubt the fact that many attend church causes the states to be worse. It could be the high percentage of rural population, which causes worse health care, education, and economy, as well as promotes a tight-knit oftentimes religious community in those small towns

Not surprised by any of the states, but surprised by the percentages. The depiction of these states (especially ones like Arkansas and Mississippi, which lack major cities) is that everyone is a Bible thumper. Would have expected the number to be comfortably over 60% based on perception. Interesting.

Well quizmaster23, you could also argue that people in those states have had less exposure to left-wing indoctrination by academia. Whether you are religious or not, or have attended a higher learning institution has no bearing on IQ. In fact, some of the smartest people out there who have sought to disprove Christianity and the existence of God, end up becoming some of the most fierce apologists for Christianity. Either way, your comment here does nothing but to insult others, and shows a lack of tolerance on your part.
