Seattle is the Least Religious Large Metro Area

 Not a big surprise here but still very interesting to read the stats.  One would expect that the more Democrats you find in any one area will coincide with a more Godless population.  They may disagree with this if you confront them on the topic and may say something like, “we don’t need a building to be spiritual.  And as long as you’re spiritual then you are going to be a pretty good person.”  The sad fact is that America is turning Left and denying that God had anything to do with making this nation great and that our liberties and freedom are given to us by God and not by failed men.  As the Democrats deny this and gain more votes from their Godless constituents and are elected to more seats and exert more power, America will cease to be great.  The writing is on the wall.  And yet so sad to watch.

Americans have grown less religious over the past couple of decades, and attendance at religious services is down across the country. Of course, some parts of the country are a lot less religious than others. New survey data shows Seattle is one of those places.

A clear majority of adults in the Seattle area — around 64% — never attend church or religious services, or go less than once a year. That pencils out to about 1.98 million people out of the total 3.1 million population aged 18 and older in the metro area, which includes King, Pierce and Snohomish counties.

The data comes from the ongoing Household Pulse Survey, a product of the U.S. Census Bureau. The question on religious-service attendance is a new addition to the survey, which was conducted from Jan. 9 to Feb. 5 and had about 68,500 respondents nationwide.

The survey includes data from all 50 states plus the nation’s 15 largest metro areas, including Seattle. And among those 15, Seattle ranked the least religious, edging out San Francisco, where 63% never attend religious services, or go less than once a year. Boston was a distant third at 56%.

The southern parts of the U.S. tend to be more religious, so it’s not surprising to see three Sunbelt cities with the lowest share of nonreligious residents among large metros. In Dallas, 40.5% never attend a service or go less than once a year. Houston and Atlanta were just a little higher.

What may be surprising to folks in the Seattle area, though, is that the rest of Washington is nearly as nonreligious as Seattle. Statewide, 63% never or almost never attend religious services, just 1 percentage point lower than the number for the Seattle area.

Washington ranked as the fifth least-religious state. Maine and Vermont were at the top, both at around 69%, followed by Oregon (65%) and New Hampshire (64%). Mississippi had the lowest share of nonreligious people, with only 30% never or almost never attending services.
