A look at gay marriage and religion in America

There has to be come correlation to gay marriage and religion. After all, marriage comes from religion. The Holy Bible says marriage is between a man and woman. These days religion and marriage mean nothing as many people have lost their morals.

With the release of the American Religion Survey from Trinity College in early March, I am going to correlate the connection of the states that allow same sex marriage and religion. Here we go.

(the stats are percentages)

West North Central (Same Sex Marriage: Iowa)


Pacific (Same Sex Marriage: Washington; Similar to marriage: California, Oregon)
