Cole Hudson Is the United States more religious than Europe? My understanding is that Europe is broadly-but-casually religious whereas the US is specifically-but-actively religious, e.g. France vs the Bible Belt. Curious because I heard an argument attributing the prevalence of religion as inversely proportional to the size of a societies social safety net.

Anon T. Those strongly religious people are mostly in the South and Midwest. Anything along the coasts is less religious too.
