Probably Utah's 3rd. Arkansas' 1st and Mississippi's 2nd are close though.

-Most religious district held by a Democrat - AR-1
-Most religious district that voted for Kerry - MS-2
-Most religious predominately white district held by a Democrat - AR-1
-Most religious predominately white district that voted for Kerry - DE - AL
-Least religious district - WA-7
-Least religious district held by a Republican - WA-8
-Least religious district that voted for Bush - NH-1

In case you're wondering, I'm not using religious self-reference here. In my book the most religious states are Utah, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, etc. No "North Dakota" out of anywhere.

I'm curious how you assess Delaware's religiosity. I couldn't guess, myself.


Parts of it are in the Bible Belt. New Castle County especially.

Huh

New Castle County is a very northeastern area.  It shares nothing in common with the Bible Belt.  I think you mean Kent and Sussex counties, which constitute about a third of the state's population.  And, regardless, any argument you could make for southern Delaware being the most something, there's going to be a Deep South district that's more that thing.

Seventeen percent of Delaware identifies as non-religious, which is not low.  Delaware is really not the most anything, including religious.

Sorry. Kent and Sussex rather. My bad.

And 17% of Utahns identify as "non-religious", does that mean it's not very religious? I think wherever you get these reports about state religiosity is seriously whacked.

Most Catholics use contraceptives. They actually have a higher rate than Mormons, who do not officially oppose them.
