Lawrence's religion base questioned in 2002 study
A nationwide 2002 survey found Lawrence far less religious than Kansas overall and among the least religious metropolitan areas in the U S. Douglas County showed only 29.1 percent tied to religious groups, with Kansas placing at the national average of 50.5 percent adherence. Local figures note university influence and a liberal, secular trend, while some religious leaders argue the study undercounts students and non Christian faiths.
