Provo, Utah, and Burlington, Vermont, represent opposite ends of the U.S. religiosity spectrum.
The majority of the most religious metros are concentrated in the South or Utah. The particular weekend, many of the rythmns of urban life in Utah cities are remarkably visible as the LDS church holds it’s semi-annual General Conference. On the opposite side of spectrum, 5 of the 10 least religious metros are in New England; the west coast is the other center of diminished religiosity (with a mini-center in Colorado).
Questions to ponder: what cultural patterns help to partially explain the religiosity in the United States? Why is your local area the way it is religiously?
