I grew up in one of those states and it’s part of why I’m a certified America Hater today. I genuinely don’t think people who haven’t been exposed to it, even within the country, but especially outside of it, really have a grasp on how prominent and powerful religion is in the US. Hell, I didn’t fully understand it myself until I lived outside of the country for a time and saw what normal is like. This country is a madhouse.
I thought that the deeply religious states were more of a minority. Yikes.
They are. Those areas are thinly populated.
Unfortunately it’s land that votes, not people.
I thought it was corporations…
Ohio and Florida are thinly populated? Texas has a large area but also population.
Ohio is mostly corn and “Hell is real” billboards.
Yeah but it also has the 7th highest population in the country and a higher population density than California, somehow.
California is also big.
You are forgetting about Grandpa’s Cheese Barn to. Also as another user mentioned it’s a highly populated state
more people moved to texas and florida sine the beginning of the pandemic.
It’s right there in OP.
To learn anything about American politics you need a county level map.
With size adjusted to account for population! It becomes useless as a map, but significantly more illustrative of the political realities.

Oh, and here’s 2024
just look tht gerrymandered maps.
Relative to the US average. But the US is a very deeply religious nation compared to other developed nations.

Maine is the least religious state but for some reason is gray on the chart. I’m curious about how the question was asked in the study
