In a sense each state is like its own governing country.. if those within vote to expel God from the border of their state it becomes a little harder to have the favor of God in that state.. it's only due to the good people within these lost states like CA, NY and others that God doesn't withdraw grace completely and allow evil to reign over their total destruction. So in a sense it can be said that God puts a greater effort into putting up with lost states due to the good people held hostage within than in those states who willingly accept the Will of God in their governing.
