What is the most religious state in the U.S and why?
609224
The most religious by total number or per capita? The most religious per capita would be any from Texas to Virginia, or the Bible Belt. There's a church on nearly any back road you travel, small, but a church, unique in the South. It's hard to find someone that even uses a swear word!

So is somebody finally conceding that the U.S. is a RELIGIOUS government?  Did someone finally read the Constitution and see that we were guaranteed religious freedom, and that the Constitution does not separate Church and State?  The Constitution just says not to set up a State Church, like the Church of England, because they wanted religious FREEDOM!

Alabama has the most.

I would say probably Louisiana...because of the French influence there, lots of people from Louisiana are Catholic.  Also if you consider Texas south, Texas has quite a few also because of the large Hispanic population.  Cullman, Alabama is a small town with a large Catholic population.  Altus, Arkansas (where they filmed Paris Hilton show) is a small town with a large Catholic population and 4 wineries!  Just to name a few.

In the US, the question doesn't get framed properly.  One must look at the actual Constitution to properly consider this issue.\n\nEither that or one must get rid of the Constitution.  \n\n--England before US was colonized:  Church controlling government.\n--Soviet Union (f/k/a):  Government controlling church.\n\nWe're not even close.

Why is USA so full of religious fundamentalists?

Thomas Jefferson wasn't very religious and was very in favor of the Separation of Church and State.  He felt that that is why there were people there they wanted to be free to worship as they pleased, and that for that to be possible the State shouldn't be in favor of one particular religion.

One nation under God indivisible...\n\nFrom the pledge of allegiance. I can't believe you actually got religious answers...

It's so hard to decide. I think I'd eliminate Oklahoma, it really seems to have nothing to offer, but I guess not eliminate since a lot of Native Americans live ther, but maybe give it to them if that's allowed in this answer? Haha. \n\nMy dad would always tell me this joke: \nWhy do birds fly upside down over Oklahoma? \n--Because there's nothing worth sh*ting on!\n\nMan, Texas rocks. But I'd like for it to stay part of the US. Individually we would just constantly pick the worst worst leaders (haha although we do that anyway, sorry guys! At least Tom Delay's not going back in haha)\n\nHaha, man you guys haven't been to or known people from the right parts of Texas (ie: Panhandle and west Texan people seem to be more conservative and rude, people from the big cities are awesome). Native Texans- ie: the stubborn ones that would probably never leave to go live in an 'inferior' state (haha), are some of the nicest people. I had a friend move up to NY for school and she just shudders at all the rudeness she's faced there. Nevertheless there are tons of liberals here. I'm one, even an atheist too in the buckel of the Bible belt, and there's a huge gay population in many of the major cities and college towns (which usually lends itself to being quite liberal areas). It's hard to get past the screaming republiconservatives from round here, but there are some awesome people born and bred from right here.

Depends what exactly you mean by separation of church and state.  The First Amendment is desgined to keep the government out of the religion business; there is no prohibition on people of religious faith participating in politics.

Texas has the nicest people hands down.  When I visited Georgia I was rebuked for being catholic and my hosts were mad at me for admitting it (one of thier friends asked me if I was catholic, there were also amazed I was mexican and speaking english).  So I'd give Georgia the nod for least friendly.

I don't understand how this country (US) could be founded on religion when the 1st amendment guarantees the separation of church and state. Politicians who seek votes by professing their religion don't look like idiots to me. To me they come across as being anti-American.
