Is California a church-goin’ state?
Every Sunday?
It probably comes as no surprise that, according to a recent Gallup survey, the percentage of people in Mormon-heavy Utah and those in the Bible Belt attend church more often than the rest of the country. Who goes to church the least? New Englanders, with four of the region’s states coming in last. (California is No. 37 with 28 percent.)
