From
Time Magazine's coverage of the study:
"The study defines Bible-mindedness as a combination of how often respondents read the Bible and how accurate they think the Bible is. Respondents who report reading the bible within the past seven days and who agree strongly in the accuracy of the Bible are classified as Bible Minded, says the studys methodology."

Cedar Rapids suprises me. That’s is mid-America. Corn Country.
Maybe it’s lib-infested like the others on the list. That - after all - explains it all.

I call fraud. The data can’t be correct. Not one city from California and DC which is the most anti-Christian city in America isn’t even mentioned...: )

The Catholic Church also has many resources for Bible reading and study.
Thanks for this most interesting list.

Asheville, NC???
Seething hotbed of liberal hippies. San Francisco of 1969 must be the same as today’s Ashville. .

Could it be that those liberal hippies have found Jesus at last in Ashville?

Cedar Rapids is close to Iowa City, an ultra-liberal town and home to the very liberal University of Iowa.

Iowa is not nearly as conservative and Christian as you seem to think it is. Other than the vast, sparsely populated rural bulk, it is a Leftish hellhole.

Note, Salt Lake City is #87!!!
Is this anti-Mormon bias, or do they really not use the Bible.

I think those 2 might fall into the “no religion at all” category.

Note, Salt Lake City is #87!!! Is this anti-Mormon bias, or do they really not use the Bible. From the LDS Articles of Faith:
We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly
As post #1 states, the study defines Bible-mindedness as a combination of how often respondents read the Bible and how accurate they think the Bible is.

Interesting Alex...Chattanooga, Tenn.; Birmingham, Ala.; Little Rock, Ark.;....These cities have a big problem in the city core with violence.....Looks like they know who to call on in times of trouble and what the real way to change hearts and minds is through knowing God...
