RE: The topography of faith
I knew Utah would have a low percentage of Evangelical Protestants, but I didn't expect Nevada to be that low.
I always knew that people said New England was a difficult field, but I was surprised to see how very low Evangelical Protestants were in those states. "Do not look so sad. We shall meet soon again.” “Please, Aslan,” said Lucy, “what do you call soon?” “I call all times soon,” said Aslan. |

Now if only I could figure out a way to overlay that map with this one:

America's Dairyland FTW!
I think at least a while back, Watertown, WI was known not only for having a fabulous fundy Bible College, but also the most bars per capita of any city in North America... "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side" |

"More Bars in More Places" should be the slogan on every Wisconsin license plate!

RE: The topography of faith
The US remains an Evangelical nation, as a whole. Adding up the politically conservative groups (ev prot, black prot, catholic, mormon, orthodox, jw), you find that 61 PERCENT of US citizens are religious social conservatives. To me that is scary.
If a man-o-god delivers a toe-stomping sermon and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? |

Well...it's hard to tell if that is the case. This graphic is nice and pretty and all but we don't know how they conducted the study from just looking at it. What kinds of questions did they ask? Did they allow people to self-identify or did the pollsters do the identification based on the respondents church affiliation? How likely are the people polled to say that they are more or less religiously affiliated than is the truth? |
