It was just two days ago that we were found to be America’s least faithful city by a website that promotes and enables extramarital affairs. Now a polling agency has similarly found that we’re unfaithful—though this time in the plainly religious sense of the word.
A Gallup survey finds that only 30 percent of D.C. residents consider themselves “very religious,” putting us above only six states: Oregon, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
The national average of “very religious” Americans stands at 40 percent, while Mississippi leads the charge with 58 percent, followed by Utah and Alabama at 56 percent.
