According to the above map (shared last week on Reddit), here are the Top Five states whose residents believe in Hell.

Tie #1- Mississippi & Tennessee (77% of population believe in Hell)

Tie #3- Arkansas & Ohio (76% of the population believe)

#5- Kentucky (74% of the population believe)

The state with the fewest amount of residents believing in Hell?  Massachusetts- with just 36% of residents confirming belief.  Vermont is a close second with just 38% of the population affirming the belief.

According to recent research and polling by the Pew Research Center, seven-in-ten Americans believe in Heaven, but just 58% believe in the concept of Hell.
