HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - Sometimes it doesn't pay to be No. 1.

Not when the ranking is on the list of "very religious" cities
whose residents watch the most online porn.

Huntsville took top "honors" in the poll in which one of the
largest online pornography sites, PornHub.com, used data from a
Gallup poll on U.S. cities that are "very religious" and compared
it with the cities whose residents most often visit its site,
according to the BuzzFeed.com.

The findings - based on most religious cities ranked by
per capita visits to Pornhub between December 1, 2012 and
April 30, 2013 - showed 55 percent of Huntsville residents
are "very religious" and make 23.8 PornHub views per capita.

Montgomery and Birmingham showed up on the list, as well,
at Nos. 2 and 7, respectively.

Here is the Top 12 list (see more detailed information at BuzzFeed):

1. Huntsville

2. Montgomery

3. Little Rock, Ark. (including North Little Rock and Conway)

4. Baton Rouge, La.

5. Augusta, Ga. (including Richmond County)

6. Jackson, Miss.

7. Birmingham (including Hoover)

8. Holland, Mich. (including Green Haven)

9. Greenville, S.C. (including Mauldin and Easley)

10. Provo, Utah (including Orem)

11. Hickory, N.C. (including Lenoir and Morganton)

12. Ogden, Utah, (including Clearfield)

The whole thing is BS, since the cities were not compared to less religious
cities and there is no way to know how religious the actual visitors to
Pornhub are.

You're wrong.

"Huntsville took top 'honors' in the poll in which one of the largest
online pornography sites, PornHub.com, used data from a Gallup poll on
U.S. cities that are "very religious" and compared it with the cities

From GALLUP:

Provo-Orem, Utah, Is Most Religious U.S. Metro Area


PRINCETON, NJ -- Provo-Orem, Utah, is the most religious of 189
U.S. metropolitan areas Gallup surveyed in 2012, with 77% of
its residents classified as very religious.

Burlington, Vt., and Boulder, Colo., are the least religious,
with 17% meeting that threshold.

Most of the top religious cities are in the South -- the exceptions
are Provo; Ogden-Clearfield, Utah; and Holland-Grand Haven, Mich.

The least religious cities are clustered in the Northeast and on
the Pacific Coast, with the exception of Boulder and Madison, Wis.

There is nothing wrong with watching porn. Hell, even the religious
folks do it, regardless of the fact that they preach against it.

Earlier this year, Gallup released data on the cities and metropolitan areas
of the US with the highest percentages of people identifying as "very
religious." Researchers at the website Pornhub (NSFW, clearly) took the
opportunity to find out which of those areas visit the site the most. Below,
America's most religious cities ranked by per capita visits to Pornhub
between December 1, 2012 and April 30, 2013 (in order from least to most
porn-loving):

They did not compare the list to "cities
whose residents most often visit its site."

We have no idea what the per capita visits from Burlington, VT are from this
analysis.

Yes. They did. That was the whole point.

They compared visits to Pornhub with the set of results from Gallup
which identified cities that consider themselves "very religious" to
those who identified themselves as "least religious".

Yes we do.

All Pornhub had to do was compare their porn visits from the different
cities already identified as "very religious" to "least religious".


Here's how GALLUP came up with their results.

From the GALLUP study:

Throughout the country in 2012, 40% of Americans were classified as
very religious -- based on saying religion is an important part of
their daily life and that they attend religious services every week
or almost every week.

Thirty-one percent of Americans were nonreligious, saying religion
is not an important part of their daily life and that they seldom or
never attend religious services.

The remaining 29% of Americans were moderately religious, saying
religion is important in their lives but that they do not attend
services regularly, or that religion is not important but that they
still attend services.

Relatively few metro areas match the national religiousness average,
instead reflecting substantial diversity, with a 60-percentage-point
range between the most and least religious cities.

This generally mirrors the variation in the average religiousness
among the states of the union.

Mississippi is the most religious state (58% very religious), while
Utah is tied with Alabama in second place.

Vermont (19% very religious) is the least religious state.

Complete data on religiosity for all 189 metro areas can be found on
page 2.

The most and least religious cities generally reflect the
religiousness of the state in which they are located, although there
are some interesting exceptions.

Utah, for example, is one of the nation's most religious states, and
two Utah cities -- Provo and Ogden -- are indeed among the most
religious cities in the nation.

But Utah's largest metro area, Salt Lake City, is significantly
lower on the religiousness list (47% very religious) than the other
two Utah cities. This most likely reflects Salt Lake City residents'
more urban, less Mormon nature compared with other Utah metro areas.

And, although Michigan as a state has below-average religiousness,
that state's Holland-Grand Haven metro area is tied as the nation's
fifth most religious...

Seventy-seven percent of Provo residents say they attend church
weekly or nearly weekly, while 18% say they seldom or never attend.

Residents of the Burlington area represent nearly a mirror image,
with 18% saying they attend church weekly or nearly every week, and
76% saying they seldom or never attend.

The 77% level of frequent church attendance among residents of Provo
is clearly exceptional; 63% of residents in Montgomery, Ala., second
on the church attendance list, say they attend church on a weekly or
nearly weekly basis.

I agree.

What's wrong is the glaring hypocrisy of
the Bible-Belt "Family Values" wanker crowd.


"Life in Lubbock, Texas, taught me two things:
One is that God loves you and you're going to
burn in hell. The other is that sex is the most
awful, filthy thing on earth and you
should save it for someone you love."

According to the study, they do it much more than non-religious
people - which makes a clear statement about sexual repression.

Deseret News - March 3 2009


"Subscriptions are slightly more prevalent
in states that have enacted conservative
legislation on sexuality."


Utahns, famous for their wholesomeness and frugality,
buy online pornography at higher rates than the rest of America.

That's the conclusion of a Harvard economics professor
who tracked subscriptions to online porn sites.

Utah ranks No. 1 in subscriptions, according to
Benjamin Edelman, who reported his findings in the article
"Red Light States: Who Buys Online Adult Entertainment?,"
published in the most recent edition of the Journal of
Economic Perspectives.
