In Washington, D.C., the nation’s capital city, 75 percent of adults do not go to church at least once a week, according to the Gallup poll, while only 23 percent do. Another 2 percent told the polling firm they “don’t know” when asked how often they go to church.

DC worships at the alter of man... Government........
That is because they are Rastifarians .
I am shocked if any state has as high number as claimed. Many people claim going to church but reality is different. The so-called conservative states are no different.

Yes, I’m surprised it is that high. My town has many churches built decades ago by church-going populations (Catholic and Protestant), and most are fairly empty on Sundays. There is a rise in evangelical storefront churches targeting Hispanics and Brazilians (the former Catholics our bishops think they’ll attract via supporting amnesty); these are more like social clubs/businesses than churches.
