Greensboro: Second Most Religious City

The Colorado Springs Gazette cites an article in Men’s Health magazine that rates Greensboro the second most religious city in America.

The magazine says it relied on a bundle of sources to create the list: U.S. Census records, YellowPage.com (to tabulate worship centers per capita), VolunteeringinAmerica.gov (to tabulate worship center volunteers), and several sources to estimate the amount of money donated to religious groups.

Interestingly, although Colorado Springs (home of Focus on the Family and The Navigators, among many other ministries) is the top of the list, North Carolina claims four of the top fifteen:

1. Colorado Springs, CO
2. Greensboro, NC
3. Oklahoma City, OK
4. Wichita, KS
5. Indianapolis, IN
6. Jacksonville, FL
7. Portland, OR
8. Birmingham, AL
9. Charlotte, NC
10. Little Rock, AR
11. Fort Worth, TX
12. Montgomery, AL
13. Raleigh, NC
14. Durham, NC
15. Virginia Beach, VA
