God big in South, not so much in New England and Pacific Northwest: New Gallup results

Want to be almost certain you’ll have religious neighbors? Move to Mississippi. Prefer to be in the least religious state? Venture to Vermont.

A new Gallup Poll, based on more than 350,000 interviews, finds that the Magnolia State is the one where the most people—85 percent—say yes when asked “Is religion an important part of your daily life?”

Meanwhile, less than half of Vermonters—42 percent—answered that question in the affirmative.
