Which is the least religious region of the US?
greenforest32:
Using the 9 census regions for convenience. I think it's the Pacific West with New England coming in a close second. Your thoughts?
Joe Republic:
Nationwide polls have already shown the Pacific NW to be the least religious, so combined with the Bay Area, yeah it's definitely the PacWest.

That was probably true until the mid 2000s. It seems like New England is playing to win: http://articles.latimes.com/2009/mar/16/local/me-beliefs16

I feel like the Pacific Northwest (in other words excluding California) would still be less religious than New England. Also would it would probably be closer in population, grouping the entire West Coast together like that is crazy.
