Nevadans pride themselves as having 'the highest "Christian" ethics'? * Hit
me again.

The bottom ten are, in reverse order form lowest to higher: Nevada,
Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Wyoming, Indiana, Alabama, Idaho, New Mexico,
and Florida. I recognize Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Alabama as being
in the South or Southwest, part of the "Bible Belt". Perhaps Wirt will
address New Mexico's rating for us. But I'm not sure how Nevada, Wyoming,
Indiana, Idaho, and Florida regard themselves.

But then, those numbers are more than half a decade old, and I could not
find where that web site offered to define the components of the rate they
published. Nor did I find a piety index.
