Seattle: 3rd least Christian city in the US

[Deleted]

Only behind Portland and Tampa.

Portland doesn't surprise me, but Tampa does.

From the website:

That looks about what I would expect. Of course Seattle is full of dirty, sinning heathens

We better watch out in a thunder storm!!

I am so not surprised. A little lonesome feeling to see it's actual fact, not just what I figured, though.

Doesn't surprise me at all. But in the article, why does it show a beautiful church in every other city but for Seattle it shows what looks to be a building from the 1960's!

Since when did the Bible belt switch from being horizontal to vertical?

Wait, so Utah being that dark, does this mean they're lumping Mormons and Christians into the same category?

I was thinking the large Asian population may have something to do with this...

i don't know...i don't think so. most koreans and filipinos are christian.

mormon is a division (or whatever it's called) of christianity. sort of like catholicism is lumped into christian.

It bugs me that this is even an issue. The church is way too tangled up in politics.

I'm on the flip side of this. This fact doesn't surprise me, but I have no clue where these non-religious people are. I feel like a lot of people I know, even if they don't attend church regularly still identify with a christian religion.

Have you seen the commercial w/ all the ministers/pastors, etc. speaking in support of gay marriage? I it.

Yep. I'm glad ministers and republicans are going on tv in support of this. I'm a Christian, and I think it should be legalized. I know Im not the only one.
