Mildly Interesting

A map about people who paid attention in history and government class vs those who didn’t.

I thought that the deeply religious states were more of a minority. Yikes.

That's a lot of stupid morons who pretend to care about the constitution but don't.

The point of the establishment clause is that it shouldn't matter what the majority says about religion. It should mean exactly nothing. Tyranny of the majority shouldn't be allowed to make non-Christians into second class citizens.

I'm saving this for when the civil war is about to break out and I need a rough estimate of where the front lines will be.

As culture wars continue to brew in schools across the United States, one unconventional group is pushing for more representation in the classroom: Satanists. This has particularly caused controversy in states like Tennessee, where an elementary school formed a program for children called the "After School Satan Club." 

This program was created by an organization called the Satanic Temple, a relatively new religious movement that purports to teach "compassion and empathy toward all creatures." However, the introduction of these clubs has unsurprisingly made parents upset, while supporters of the Satanic Temple say they are working to improve the lives of children.

What the fuck

What the fuck Michigan

Horrifying

Lookit that. The states with religious indoctrination vs states with educational “indoctrination.”

There's your problem in a nutshell, America.

Interesting, places that many cultures and beliefs are coming led heavily oppose it, while states that are majority WASPs are for it.

Interesting that simply being around people of other beliefs can change your way of thinking.

Tax the church!

There is no way utah and idaho are neutral here

The United States had a good run. I hope I see the entire West Coast secede in my lifetime.

If they want there is nothing stopping them from praying in school if they want, they just can't compel others to do it with them.

How was the research conducted? Their website talks about the sample size, but I didn't see how respondents were selected. They claim it's representative of the national population, but if they're cold-calling random people to ask the questions, I can almost guarantee there are going to be more older people responding because younger people tend not to answer unknown phone calls.

Why just Christian prayers? Why not prayer in general?

Use a generic "what do you think about prayer in public schools?" survey, and then where states vote YES create campaigns to make satanic and Muslim prayer programs at schools in the states that were all for prayer lol

Jesus Christ.

And I say that without a hint of irony.

I live in Michigan, and it's anecdotal because I tend to surround myself with secular people, but I find this hard to believe.

I love maps that are basically just population density maps
