Oklahoma is the seventh-most religious state in the union, according to the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.

Sixty-nine percent of Oklahomans in a recent poll said that religion is very important in their lives, Pew reported.

Six Southern states outranked the Sooner State, led by Mississippi, with 82 percent saying religion is very important in their lives. Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee and South Carolina also ranked higher than Oklahoma.

Looks like the buckle of the belt is a little further to the east!

And the more religious states than Oklahoma don't look like among the coolest states to live in. Surprised that Utah isn't up there in the Top 10.

First thing I thought too. I figured Utah would be there.

It may have been the way the poll was conducted.

It looks like the SEC conference *lol*
