Abstract
We studied how state-level religiosity relates to frequency of public expressions of gratitude to God or interhuman gratitude. Using text mining techniques, we scraped 1.6 million tweets and found that state-level religiosity predicted a higher frequency of expressions of interhuman gratitude and lower frequency of expressions of gratitude to God.
