This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

How was the research conducted? Their website talks about the sample size, but I didn't see how respondents were selected. They claim it's representative of the national population, but if they're cold-calling random people to ask the questions, I can almost guarantee there are going to be more older people responding because younger people tend not to answer unknown phone calls.

A total of 205,100 sampled addresses were mailed survey invitations. Respondents were given a choice to complete the survey online, by mail, or by calling a toll-free number and completing the survey over the phone with an interviewer. Of the 36,908 U.S. adults who completed the survey, 25,250 did so online, 10,733 did so by mail, and 925 did so by phone.
It goes on to say the results were then weighted to get a representative demographic sample, e.g. if more older people answered, younger responders would count for more.
Funny part is .... it has absolutely no indication of how religious or moral any of these regions are
Tax the church!
Repeal the 1st. It's clear you can't have religious freedom without it just allowing a theocracy.

We shouldn't ban religion, though--just institution.
The United States had a good run. I hope I see the entire West Coast secede in my lifetime.
A map about people who paid attention in history and government class vs those who didn’t.
Interesting, places that many cultures and beliefs are coming led heavily oppose it, while states that are majority WASPs are for it.
Interesting that simply being around people of other beliefs can change your way of thinking.
WTF RI?
I love maps that are basically just population density maps
Is it though? Florida is quite dense in US terms and states like Idaho and Montana are about as far from dense as you can get.
I live in Michigan, and it's anecdotal because I tend to surround myself with secular people, but I find this hard to believe.
Jesus Christ.
And I say that without a hint of irony.
I'm saving this for when the civil war is about to break out and I need a rough estimate of where the front lines will be.
If there's a civil war, Michigan will quickly be appropriated to Canada.
Keep it, not interested.
Also factor
Military, national & state guard, and LE bases project a zone of control
100 miles from any border is a zone of control
I thought that the deeply religious states were more of a minority. Yikes.
They are. Those areas are thinly populated.
Ohio and Florida are thinly populated? Texas has a large area but also population.
Horrifying
That is not surprising.
