Today, I came upon an interesting article written in the Huffington Post. The article looks into the most and least religious cities in the country, and unsurprisingly, Salt Lake City, Utah tops the list. According to the article and its corresponding album, SLC has about 72,000 citizens who practice Christian religion for every 100,000 citizens.
One interesting observation I made: nearly all of the most religious cities are located in the South -- where Christianity is very prevalent -- or New England -- where most religious influence stemmed from the high concentration of Catholic Irish and Italian immigrants.
Colorado lies somewhere in the middle of the scale. Parts of Southern Colorado are very religious, while Northern Colorado is typically less so.
If you want to check out the slideshow, click the link. Each picture depicts a large church in the area (Denver included!).
