tynan - out of curiosity, where do you get the capital of "religiosity" thing from? How are you defining "religiosity"? Fundamentalist Christianity?
Sorry the phrase 'capital of religiosity' was a little throw away, I was making the point that 'even in the very religious state of Texas we find . . . .'
Although saying that . . Texas is amongst the states with the most conservative evangelical Protestants - all the bible belt states have a very high religious observance rate - I think Carolina or Mississippi might have the very highest rates.
I also singled Texas out as it's the battleground for the creationist movement.

Cheers I will have a look at the link and dig out my list (most dangerous cities) to check sources.
