He thinks that LA differs from Boston b/c of enforcement??? Has he ever been to either city? Boston is overflowing w/ Irish Catholics and LA is overflowing w/ scantily clad starlets.
Boston is the land of puritans. I can barely get a beer after midnight, never mind buy one at a gas station. I'm surprised we even have a bar on that graph.
I live in Atlanta and we have tons of Southern Baptists, yet we score pretty highly on the list. I'd actually argue that religious pressure may push more people towards this type of activity. eg. Ted Haggard
Religions attract the people that want to hide something, the best place to hide is right out in the open, they think they can go home pray and "their God" forgives them, so yes they use their religion to hide behind.
