Simplistic answer...are people in these areas more obese because they are going to church or other reasons? If, for example, I live in Mississippi (studies indicate it is the "fattest state"), is it more likely that I will become obese if I attend church regularly? According to these studies, the answer would be "yes". It's not the same as looking at a group of folks who are more obese than normal and also more likely to attend church and lumping that together...you can't necessarily use group data to explain individual results.
