are Black people in The South really considered very religious ?

[JMill782]

i always heard this stereotype and wanted to know if it was really true. living in the east coast you have people who are 5%ers, Muslims, Christians, etc. in The South i heard Blacks are devout christians and very religious, especially Southern Black women. the only two people i know who aren't really affiliated with Christianity that from the south are Jay Electronica and Erykah Badu who are 5%ers and it's crazy because Texas and Louisiana(where Badu and Electronica are from) are states where Christianity is popular in the Black community.

sorry for the random thread bros i just wanted to know

I am from Miami so take my analysis with a grain of salt. Black people attend church religiously. Walking the faith is another story.

Basically. Church in the south is as much a cultural thing as it is a religious expression.

Yeah, I've heard that down south, asking what church you go to is like asking what your address is...as in, you're pretty much expected to have one my default. Like you'll get the if you say you don't have one.
