A video listing the Top 10 Most Religious States doesn't include Utah. The Bible Belt out-religions Zion. Word has it Utah is tied for 11th place with Texas.

And in his other video about the least religious States, my home State, New Hampshire, came in as the least religious in the U.S.

I also find it funny that this list of most religious States also closely resembles the list of least educated, dumbest (lowest IQ), and most obese States.

Sometimes I think the pretense in Utah can best be described as
sanctimonious--
hypocritical--
bigotry--

Depends upon the study.

Utah is #1 in terms of attendance and above average in overall religiosity. My State, WA, is well below average in religiosity.
I also find the map in the link interesting how the least educated states match up almost perfectly with the most religious.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Mormons actually attend more often, but the Bible Belters talk a better game. As Dagny learned when she moved there, giving the Right Answers in casual conversation is a Very Big Deal in the Bible Belt.

Your actions don’t necessarily have to match. Just don’t get caught.

You nailed it BoJ.

It's weirder to navigate in the Bible belt than Mormon belt, IMO.

I think mormonism is, by and large, lived via a thin veneer of jello salads, frumpy clothing, and dollops of the prejudice du jour.

I’m afraid I cannot attribute this to anyone but myself.

"Come on, man" you are not giving the MORmONS all of the credit that they are due. They are supposed to blabber away talking about how great and critically important that the MORmON temple supposedly is only to strictly avoid talking about specific details of the insane crap that goes on inside the MORmON temple after intentionally arousing and conjuring up all kinds of interest and curiosity on the topic. That is a very tricky act.

[LDS] "Religion" in Utah, is a State of Mind.

Many in the State don't Mind.

Mormons can't be free if they think they can't

I would say having a LDS meeting house every couple of blocks is pretty religious. Yeah lots of visible Christianity in the Bible Belt. It’s definitely there but it’s all over Utah as well.
