An interfaith proclamation in South Carolina
|
“If it can be done in the South, it can be done anywhere….”
A 2012 Gallup poll showed that 7 of the top 10 most religious American states are in the south east. A Pew Forum study expounds on that statistic noting that “The South, by a wide margin, has the heaviest concentration of members of evangelical Protestant churches.” Of these top ten states, South Carolina is number six. Of the estimated of 4,723,723 residents between 72-90% are protestant with up to 50% being evangelical. Informally, South Carolina has the reputation for being the “go to” state for evangelical Baptists. (Pew Forum, “Key Findings on Statistics on Religion in America”)
Considering that data mixed with a few assumptions and a pinch of extrapolation, why would any Pagan consider moving to South Carolina?
