And I'm willing to bet that Poland, the most religious state in the EU, is less religious than whatever is the least religious state in the US.

- elric 6y agoI'll take on that bet. The graph you linked is a bit silly. The values are skewed by a bunch of African nations with a very low Human Development Index. Europe & the US are much more balanced in that regard, and you might want to consider comparing like for like. Wikipedia's "Importance of Religion by Country" [1] page seems to rank Poland squarely above the US in terms of how important religion is -- based on a Gallup poll. There's a page [2] ranking the US states by similar metrics in case you're interested.
