A new Gallup poll offers some clues about Americans’ church attendance—and the sizeable difference depending on the state where you live. Gallup asked 177,030 American adults, “How often do you attend church, synagogue or mosque—at least once a week, almost every week, about once a month, seldom or never?” It ranked all 50 states and the District of Columbia according to how many responded that they attend religious services “at least once a week.”
Residents of Utah are most likely to attend a religious service weekly. According to Gallup, Utah owes its No. 1 ranking to Mormons, who “have the highest religious service attendance of any major religious group in the U.S.”
Utah is followed by Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and Arkansas.
