USA Today recently posted this great graphic displaying the self-professed religion of Americans.
Two interesting factoids:
In three states there is a majority (>50%) professing one religion. The religions are Mormon, Baptist, Catholic. Which are the three states?
In six states, more than 1/5 the population professes no religion at all. Which states are these? (Hint: 5 of the 6 are in the West)
I knew the mormon one and wasn't surprised by the Baptist one, but the Catholic one caught me by surprise. At least a bit.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to list the answers but they're better here in the comments anyway.
