Not much was said about religion, but the family seemed to be Bible-believers, so I wonder if they went to church?

I don't recall them being in church. At some point, Jed says that Granny's a Baptist, but that he's mostly a "Golden Ruler," which implies he's not a member of a specific sect.

Didn't Jed call his suit with bowler hat his "Sunday-go-to-meetin' clothes"? There's your answer.

that's just a Southern expression.

There's also the episode where Jed's old family Bible shows the lineage of the Clampetts going back to Plymouth (guest starring Rosemary DeCamp).

And Granny prays to strike a bargain/change her ways in a few episodes.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they believed in God, I just wondered if they were part of any organized religion. I'm thinking a church could have provided a decent community for the Clampetts, seeing as how they didn't have many friends if B.hills.

Don't forget they lived way out in the hills. did Little House on the Prairie attend church? No. they probably only got to town - where a chruch was - 2 or 3 times a year.

Well, the Clampetts backstory changed throughout the series... In the early B&W episodes, they were described as living out in the middle of nowhere, 8 miles from their nearest neighbor, no phone, nor contact with the outside world; BUT in the later color episodes, they talked about having a town square, general store, having nearby neighbors they would spend time with, and it was actually described as quite a thriving little town, and it was said they had party-line telephones, which totally contradicts when they first got to B.Hills and had no clue what a phone even was.

But I thought on Little House on the Prarie they did go to church
