Mobile, AL – Most Alabama residents say they have a religious faith and a majority in a new poll showed they have a basic knowledge of the Bible.
Nearly 70 percent of respondents to last week's Press-Register/University of South Alabama survey correctly named all four Gospels.
The director of the Univsity of South Alabama Polling Group, Keith Nicholls, says the poll resuls show why Alabama is sometimes referred to as the Bible Belt.
The poll showed Alabama residents know more about the Bible than other Americans.
