Meh! I want state-by-state statistics.

National stats = yawn

This interactive map might entertain you for awhile.

What state in the union do you guess has the highest percentage of "unaffiliated," in a religious sense?  You are right; it's not Oklahoma.  Tongue

One interesting thing I noticed was the relatively high number of evangelicals in the WA and OR. Maybe another reason why those states are so polarized?

     What strikes me as odd is that 75% of Buddhists apparently believe in a god of some sort. It perplexes me because I don't recall Buddhism making reference to any sort of god.

The line dividing Buddhism and other Eastern religions is very thin.

     Buddhism & Hinduism have existed in the same region of the world for 2,500 years now. It would only make sense for them to considerably influence each other.

If only Buddhism had more influence on Hinduism and not the other way around. I think Buddhism is the only "religion" I could ever belong to. Even then I am too lazy/indifferent to even try.
