I guess this is better than being named the most sinful, no? A Wisconsin city is among the least sinful in the country, at least according to a new study.

There is a study for just about everything these days and I kind of love it! For example, in another very recent study Minnesota was named one of the most charitable states in the entire country.

Wisconsin City Among The Least Sinful In The Country

Way to go! Madison came in second to last on this list, which was made up of nearly 200 cities, making it all the more impressive. It seems there isn't too much sinning going on in Madison, at least by the parameters of this study.

Madison did unfortunately place third out of all the cities when it comes to excessive drinking. Otherwise, Madison and Wisconsin as a whole really flew under the radar. Again, you don't want to be at the top of this list.

As for Minnesota, we really flew under the radar as well. Minneapolis came in the top 50, St. Paul fell in the 120s. Milwaukee came in at number 76. It looks like we came out of this one relatively unscathed.

As for what city came in first - you probably don't need me to tell you!
