North American theism (compare with previous post)

Posted by natecrew on May 16, 2009

Here’s a comparable map of North American religious belief by state/province. I say comparable, not parallel. Data from some areas is a couple years earlier than from others. Also, the question was slightly different: this shows people who identify with a religion as opposed to having “no religion.”

I still see older religious traditions standing out in dark color, although there’s not as noticeable a contrast. The US is extraordinarily religious in relation to Europe. Look at little North Dakota up there.

But Mexico and Quebec (with its neighboring provinces) represent Roman Catholic majorities, and they stand out as religious even compared to states in the US “Bible Belt.” Interesting.
