Is there any state where the religious nones vote GOP?

[Greedo punched first]

No. They might be more GOP than in most states, but they still likely vote Democratic overall. Wyoming and Idaho have a fairly large Mormon population. Catholics are also common. Alaska is far less GOP than Wyoming and Idaho. Is overall turnout good in those states?

White religious nones in the south are going to be voting GOP and are going to be the voters that swung the greatest to Trump.

Why would religious nones there vote Trump?

Maybe Alaska or Wyoming?

Definitely these two, and probably at least the Dakotas as well.

Maybe, but the Dakotas are among the most religious states.

Which Christian denominations are prominent in the Dakotas? Religious nones in South Dakota voted for Billie Sutton by a landslide margin.

Oh, so they probably aren’t Republican.

Lutherans are the largest denomination, followed by Catholics.  The Dakotas are about as Catholic as the national average, while they are the most Lutheran states.  They may even be the most Mainline Protestant states.

Religious nones in South Dakota are probably heavily Democratic. Catholics are the largest denomination in California, which is the case in many urban states.

Why are Lutherans the most common in the Dakotas?

Why are Lutherans the most common in the Dakotas?

Because most people in the Dakotas are of German or Scandinavian ancestry.

Is German ancestry the reason Catholics are common in the Dakotas?
