Pa. not the most, or least, religious state

| | Comments (0)

We're average.

Pennsylvania earned a middle-of-the-road rating for religiosity when compared on a scale with states that can be considered the most religious to those that are the least religious in 2008.

The ranking comes from a recent Gallup poll that surveyed more than 350,000 U.S. adults. A good 65 percent of all Americans (and 65 percent of Pennsylvanians) reported that religion was important in their daily lives.

Check out the map here to see how the rest of the country feels. Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, Louisiana and Arkansas ranked as the most religious states in the nation. Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and Massachusetts are the least religious.
