These Are The Most (& Least) "Sinful" Cities In The U.S.

Hardly surprising to Mardi Gras revelers, New Orleans comes in at number one as the most sinful city, followed by Atlantic City, NJ, and then Philadelphia. These cities have an above average share of gamblers, binge drinkers, and smokers. New Orleans alone has three times more adult entertainment establishments than the national average.

And the least sinful? Provo, UT, which has zero gambling establishments, and a population that gives to charities at twice the national average. Oh, and they are also more likely to exercise, meaning they're not victim to sloth.

For the full list of the homes of America’s greatest sinners and saints, as well as how cities rank by individual vice, check out the study on Trulia’s blog.

Ogden UT and Fort Collins CO rank 2nd and 3rd for sinlessness

Hey Vegas is only 8th on the sinners list!

We rank high in lust (duh, boob job capital of the world), greed and wrath.

But you won't find envy, gluttony or sloth here!

Toledo, Ohio - one of the most significant ports of entry for the sex trafficking industry.

I'll bet that's what puts it on the list.

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

I wouldn't call forcible government restrictions on business as a measure of making a city less sinful. I seem to recall that Utah has some of the highest rates of online pornography viewing and private swingers clubs. When you legislate morality, often you see a pendulum swing by individuals in the opposite direction.
