I've lived almost my entire life in Oregon and Washington (both falling very low on the Religulous chart in the OP), all of it in the greater Portland metro area. It's really not that common to see open public displays of piety here.
I did live near Louisville KY and Huntsville AL for a bit in the late 1980's, and have traveled all over the country. Frankly, I found there was quite a bit of culture shock involved due to the open displays of faith.
Don't remember who commented on Alaska, but in my experience, Sarah Palin is an aberration. Pretty much all the Alaskans I have ever known were hard working, hard partying individualists who's only religion was fishing.
