There’s a reason the South is known as the Bible belt: A survey shows that Southerners — and Mississippians in particular — are most active in their religious practices and beliefs.
Residents of Mississippi ranked first among Americans in all four measures of a survey by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, with 82 percent saying religion is very important in their lives. Five other states had at least seven in 10 people stating that religion holds that kind of importance for them: Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee and South Carolina.
I think Atlanta is holding Georgia back.:-(
I would think a concept like “religious devotion” would elude polling organizations completely. Not because pollsters are not people of good will and perhaps devout themselves, but because there is no standard polling mechanism that can measure devotion in any meaningful sense. I interpret this information as signifying virtually nothing.
