I just ran across a huge study released by Gallup today that looks at the importance of religion for adults in the US. The study shows that in a survey of over 350,000 adults, over 65% of US adults feel that religion is an important part of their daily life.
Gallup also identified the most religious states in the study. The top five are:
- Mississippi
- Alabama
- South Carolina
- Tennessee
- Louisiana
The large data set of interviews conducted as part of the Gallup Poll Daily tracking program in 2008 provides uniquely reliable estimates of state-level characteristics. Each sample of state residents was weighted by demographic characteristics to ensure it is representative of the state’s population.
