Too many black people in Mississippi. Even if they are religious. Highest amount of African Americans percentage wise in the US.

Meanwhile, only 13% of Russians go to church, mosque, etc. regularly. Religion is not their reason to go there.

Illinois being more religious than ohio kinda surprises me

They also are the poorest state, they have the worst education, and last I checked the highest murder rate in the country, they also have probably the highest ratio of black to white because they brought in so many slaves.

They seem to be the nicest Americans though. At least at face value. America has this traditional image of being a very friendly people, and Mississippi might be at the top of the states for that.

The roads suck ass. People joke that if a woman in Mississippi has all of her teeth she is considered a princess.

Seeing groups hated by everyone else is always interesting to my morbid curious mind. Mississippi is the perfect example of an extremely poor state in the wealthiest nation in history. For the past 100 years pretty much every politician has hated Mississippians like most Americans and the neglect of the people there is astonishing. The ones who still have a little class are pure survivors.

It was named after a native American tribe or word like many places down here, it was one that one of my ancestors was part of or that same general group. She was actually royalty in the tribe. The tribes from that area were pretty cool. One of the few examples of a truly matriarchal, and somewhat polyamorous and very peaceful societies in history. You can still see those genes floating around in the friendliness and general respect for women in the south, and also the often suppressed somewhat gender fluidity of many in the south.

One of the great ironies of history is in the past, these parts of the world where there was fertile farmland used to be the most desirable and best spots. Now they are some of the worst because of industrialization and high global temperatures making the south nearly unbearable to live in.

Well anyways I'm done with my little bit of history you didn't ask for.

So funny Christians feel persecuted and like they don't have personal freedom. They want the Bible in the classroom, 10 commandments on the wall, drag queens to stop performances, and folks with brown skin deported but heaven forbid someone teaches their children they are free to love whomever they want or be whoever they want.

Texas in general is a shithole though that only cares about personal freedom when it's convenient for business owners.

Is there another version of IRL conservatism?

Both is possible.

Or dead in a ditch in Donetsk.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_appearance_of_Jesus

The race and appearance of Jesus, widely accepted by researchers to be a Jew from Galilee,[1] has been a topic of discussion since the days of early Christianity.

Thus, in terms of physical appearance, the average Judean of the time would have likely had brown or black hair, honey/olive-brown skin, and brown eyes.

Unfortunately, Christ was the "wrong sort" of Christian.

So, I agree that it's not the best presentation, but they're trying to put the summary of findings up top. The actual "title" of the chart is the subtitle beneath.

I obviously can't say with any degree of certainty, but I wonder if where you're at, it's more common to hold personal faith without necessarily belonging to an organization.

As a Christian Anarchist in the USA, this is where I'm at. I struggle to find a church that is just about Jesus, community, study, and worship, without the "evangelical" right-wing sociopolitical under/overtones the US has been infected with. (Or more rarely the opposite reaction: A hyper-left political organization that happens to be church flavored.)

But my faith is still very important to me.

19 % and 7 % seem to fit?

He's losing his parts!

Other way around, actually.

the man who did this, and for his wife to just be ok with it, means they both have batshit insane views of the LGBTQ community. its like when i see the people complain about drag storytime and think they are pedophiles. im sorry but i don't see the connection. a man, dressed up as a women becuase he feels more comfortable dressing as a women, is somehow a pedophile. i think i missed the nexus event where pedophilia and drag became the same thing, but you know, i dont watch enough fox news or turning point media to get the "truth"

Yeah can't imagine a bunch of girls having a great time there, especially once he ends up dying for his ideals (if not now then later). Leaving a mother and daughters. Pretty sure this is the guy who didn't even know the language while getting training before he was pushed up to the front. Can't imagine thinking any probable outcome is better for anyone involved, but the kids definitely don't deserve whatever happens.

Leopards weren't that interested in my face, so I moved to a country with hungrier leopards.

in russia, face eats you.

Fellow Canadian, got my mandatory estrogen injection yesterday.
