I don't know of any actual surveys of Rome but I expect their temples per capita was lower than ours, we have more. We have more christian sects than they had major gods.

L. Richardson, Jr. (_A New Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome_)
lists about 195 temples. This does not include shrines, altars,
groves, and other consecrated areas (or mithraea, synagogues, and
churches).

What year/population size is relevant?

Taken at face value we have a higher density. Must mean the political leaders of the US are absolutely governed by religion and religions determines the nature of the US.

Frankly, over here we have our suspicions about that.
