Interesting. I was surprised that NY, PA, and MA have such high
percentages. I was also surprised that Ohio, where the fundies are very
active in promoting creationism, has such a low percentage of believers.

I'm wondering too. I would have predicted even more in the South,
especially along the Atlantic Coast, and I don't know what's with the
upper Midwest.

The middle of Pennsylvania between Pittsburgh and
Philly is mostly farmland and small towns - fundyland.

When I was doing my postdoc at the University of Wisconsin, there was a
woman from rural Pennsylvania in my lab. She maintained that where she
lived was more like the Mid West then the Mid West.

/tangent alert
Q. How many neocons does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A. Neocons don't bother with light bulbs. They declare a War on
Darkness and set the house on fire.
Q: How many neocons does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. The socket welcomes the light bulb with candy and flowers.
Q: How many neocons does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Clearly, it is not in the U.S. national interest to invest
exorbitant resources in new light bulbs, as light-emitting diodes are
more energy efficient alternatives than either filament or fluorescent
light sources. Indeed, our irrational support for light bulbs has
brought down the wrath of environmentalists worldwide, who have cited
excessive electricity use in the United States as their primary
grievance against us. If not for the influence of a well-funded Light
Bulb Lobby, the United States could pursue a more balanced policy in
pursuit of energy efficiency.

Atheist n A person to be pitied in that he is
unable to believe things for which there is
no evidence, and who has thus deprived himself of
a convenient means of feeling superior to others.
