A Visual of the Bible Belt

Category: Uncategorizedpodrey @ 5:58 pm

Ever wonder what they really mean when someone refers to the Bible Belt?

This map originally appeared on a site called Strange Maps – click through to see their full analysis.  This map is colored by which religion has the most adherents in each county.  If you can’t read the legend:

  • red = baptist
  • light blue = catholic
  • yellow = christian
  • brown = latter-day saints
  • orange = lutheran
  • pink = mennonite
  • green = methodist
  • turquoise = reformed
  • gray = other

The red swath is the Bible Belt.  Southern Baptist overload.
