Yes this state is rich in its spiritual grounds. Gaya and Bodhi are very important. Buddha and Ayothi has some connections with the places found in Bihar. So they are traditionally rich in this.

Cave paintings from the early stone age exist, as do late stone age sites, copper tools and the heavy influence of the Iron age as well. However this area of India is one of the few that does not contain any discovered remains of ancient grave sites. The Harrapa peoples or the Indus River Civilization also did not extend to within Bihar's borders. Normal ancient Indian culture and civilization starts during the Aryan times, and some of the markers of Aryan advancements such as Sanskrit, the spoken language

This state does have a large population of Hindu but you would not see many people being that much serious to there religion or shall i say that they are not that much serious about there religion. You would see a lot less people who are ready to live there life according to there religious limitations.
