Very few among us could be considered saints, but according to WalletHub's research, some parts of the US are significantly more sinful than others.

Comparing more than 180 US cities on "indicators of vices and illicit behavior" β€” from violent crimes per 1,000 residents to casinos per capita β€” WalletHub ranked America's cities from most to least godly.

(And in case you need a refresher, the seven deadly sins are: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth.)
