Answer 1

I live right next to Washington and I have to say I'm not surprised. I go to Washington state allt he time. Spokane is only 15 minutes away from the town I live in, in North Idaho. Did you also know that Spokane and Seattle have the largest gay communities in the state? Gay Pride Parades are a big thing in Washington. They also passed a law that prevents discrimination from Gays. Thumbs up for Washington!

Answer 2

LoL! I knew I wanted to move there for a reason! I'm moving to Mt Vernon next year, because Florida has become a scary place, especially on the roads, and because I'm tired of seeing nothing but illegals without insurance, and Old people who insist on driving when they cant see the road in front of them. Also there is a church every 15-20 feet, which gets a little tiresome.

That's not surprising at all. Often times, when it comes to the masses, the more religious are less-educated. However, one must be careful to consider that some of the brighter minds are lesser-educated. ;)

Answer 7

that's interesting..
I have always thought the least religious states are Louisiana or District of Columbia..

Answer 8

That's why I like visiting Seattle so much.

Not too suprising.

It's been well established that there's a direct, causal link between education and lack of religious conviction.
