Is the godless Pacific Northwest suddenly finding a little old time religion?According to the 2008 American Religious Identification Survey released earlier this year, Vermont has overtaken Oregon as the country’s most unchurched state, with 34 percent of Vermonters reporting no religious affiliation.
…
Mark A. Shibley, a sociology professor at Southern Oregon University in Ashland, Ore., has written extensively about religion in Oregon and contributed to “Religion and Public Life in the Pacific Northwest: The None Zone,” a book based on the 2001 ARIS statistics and published in 2004. His comments have been edited for length and clarity.
