Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

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

They are. Those areas are thinly populated.

Unfortunately it's land that votes, not people.

Ohio and Florida are thinly populated? Texas has a large area but also population.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Ohio is mostly corn and "Hell is real" billboards.

Yeah but it also has the 7th highest population in the country and a higher population density than California, somehow.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

California is also big.

Just over half of U.S. adults (52%) say they favor allowing public school teachers to lead their classes in prayers that refer to Jesus

Nationwide, a slightly larger share of Americans say they favor allowing teacher-led prayers referencing God (57%)

It's right there in OP.
