Here in Canada, the government likes to split up the data. I can only access graphs for chlamydia and gonorrhea.

Except for New York State, they are also the poorest, least educated, most religious, and Republican.

I prefer it this way. It´s more accurate.

Unfortunately, I agree with you about the issue of less educated and poorer people. And I see a connection between lack of education and poverty. I think there is a lack of investment - including educational investment - in the South.

As a Southeasterner, it hurts me to hear the unpleasant jokes about the stupidity of Southerners. I find it discriminatory, because the country is made up of the union of states, so much so that the nation is the United States of America and not the separate states of America.

On the issue of being religious, we should respect religion or lack thereof. These are personal choices. The same goes for political opinions. After all, there are religious people and/or Republicans in other regions, just as there are non-religious people and/or Democrats in the South.

@Southeasterner, I went to school in Louisville and lived in Birmingham, then Atlanta for 25 years. I adore the South. My southern friends were not uneducated, but they were politically conservative and mostly Southern Baptist. I am seriously religious in the Episcopal Church, which has very little in common with our Baptist brothers and sisters.

I am a Roman Catholic. I think that politically the United States is going through a moment of extreme polarization. Both Democrats and Republicans have pros and cons, I think a middle path would be better, but the system is what it is.

In principle, I like all the states. Each one has its own peculiarities, lifestyle, cuisine and traditions.

In many ways, Roman Catholics and Episcopalians have a great deal in common. Unfortunately, the Romans have gone political like the fundamentalist churches while the Episcopal Church is a staunch proponent of separation of Church and State.

The Catholic Church has become more inclusive, particularly during the papacy of Pope Francis, who has allowed the blessing of same-sex couples and supports civil unions as legal protection for same-sex couples.

As for fundamentalist churches, I can only advise anyone who is homosexual or bisexual to abandon these churches and seek a more receptive one.
