3. Providence, RI
Sorry, Roger Williams
This one is actually kind of ironic considering that Providence’s founder, Roger Williams, was actually kicked out of Massachusetts for being too religious. A city named after, “God’s Merciful Providence” being relatively non-Biblical is kind of funny when you really think about it. Their percentage of Bible-mindedness there adds up to a measly 12 per cent.
2. Boston, MA
What Happened to All the Irish Catholics?
It’s rather shocking to think that the home of several of the nation’s founding fathers has fallen so low on a list of Bible-orientedness. To think that the home of a group of men who valued free thought and independent action could have possibly eschewed the virtues of a two thousand year old book is crazy! The survey showed only a mere 11 percent of residents highly regard the Bible and its teachings in their daily lives.
