In the post below I combined some of the Census Regions for reasons of sample size. But I decided to do this again without combining, but removing some of the questions because of small sample sizes. Again, I also limited the sample to whites between 1998-2008.

The 13 most religious states are hard-core Republican in Presidential races and Republican or conservative Democrat in Congress. Then at #14 comes Minnesota, which since 1972 has been the 3rd most reliably Democratic state in Presidential (after Massachusetts and DC).
Explanation? First, Minnesota has a very conservative Republican Party and a pretty liberal Democratic Party. It's actually "moderate" by now, but all this means is that the extremes are balanced. In state and Congressional politics Republicans do very well. So it's a bit of a matter of luck that the Democarts have done so well Presidentially.
Second, though, Minnesota believers mostly belong to mainline liturgical churches (Lutheran, Catholic, and Orthodox; Episcopals are the other liturgical church but aren't common in Minnesota.) America's conservative Christians belong mostly to non-liturgical fundamentalist, pentecostal, or charismatic churches od British origin. (Even Methodists and Presbyterians are not especially conservative).
