Here is a map where they plotted, by state, the fatality rates based on lightning strikes.

So, the states with the highest fatality rates seem to be (generally) the most conservative states. Look at the liberal northeast and the west coast. The most liberal states appear to have the least (per capita) deaths caused by lightning. Maybe Christians have it all wrong? Maybe they should try a different religion or no religion at all?
