There was an interesting study released this week on religion.
SmileHub, a nonprofit tech company that uses data to rate charities, ranked states by religion and Texas fared very well.
The company’s state rankings rated Texas as the third most religious state. The rankings weighed three categories: “religious interest and places of worship,” “religious education and careers,” and “religious-affiliated organizations.”
Don't fret, because Texas ranked first in religious-affiliated organizations, second in religious interest and places of worship. Texas also ranked first in two additional subcategories: “most faith and religious support charities per capita” and “highest Google search index for faith and religious terms.” Texas ranked second in the subcategory for “most religious establishments per capita.”
If you're wondering, Alabama placing first, followed by Virginia, Texas, Tennessee, and North Carolina.
What about the least religious states? Well, Maine, New Hampshire, Nevada, Vermont, and Alaska were at the bottom.
