Somebody with patience might want to look at how many Kingdom Halls in each state compares to bible-mindedness!

I really don't know how someone comes up with this kind of a list...isn't it about like "America's friendliest cities" or "America's best garden cities" or such?

As a resident of #6 on the list I can attest that it's true. I had lived up in New England where nobody talked about church or the bible, so it was a major culture shock when I heard people freely discussing religion, prayer meetings, church services, and the bible everywhere I went. I rode public transportation here for 6 years before I got a car, so I got an earful riding the bus.

It would be interesting to know what their criterion is for "Bible mindedness." The first city I looked for was Grand Rapids, because some of the bigger Bible publishers are headquartered there. I'd have expected it to at loeast be in the top 10. However, it came in at only #35. I wonder what makes Knoxville #1?

I don't know about your map, but if you look at USA presidential election voting results maps, almost every major city in the USA will vote democrat and the rural areas more often will vote republican. Unless it's Salt Lake City, I think most major cities are going to be more secular. Not that democrats are all secular. To me, secular means behavior more so than claims.
