A new Gallup Poll evaluates states according to their religiousness.
Want to be almost certain you’ll have religious neighbors? Move to Mississippi. Prefer to be in the least religious state? Venture to Vermont.
A new Gallup Poll, based on more than 350,000 interviews, finds that the Magnolia State is the one where the most people — 85% — say yes when asked “Is religion an important part of your daily life?”
Less than half of Vermonters, meanwhile — 42% — answered that same question in the affirmative.

Overall, Gallup researchers found that 65% of all Americans said religion was important in their daily lives.
