Are you part of the minority or majority where you live?
I’m swimming in Catholics.

I wonder how the map would look if they charted by lukewarmness.

What is your map based on? I live in New York. Many churches are some kind of Baptist, Full Gospel or some sort of Pentecostal Churches.
I’ve been from New York to California, I have seen many Protestant Churches, from Baptist, to Assembly of God, to Church of God, to Calvary Chapel Churches. And at the same time there are many Churches in the mid northern part of New York state, the Hudson Valley, ithat is very Marian with many dead Catholic Churches, Franciscan Nunneries and Wineries. Your map leaves out a whole bunch of Churches. The Reformed Congregational Churches are largely empty and Museum pieces.

This is frightening. Looks like Roman Catholics have taken over everywhere but the southeast, and even there they are making headway.

Why does this frighten you?
I thought this was an anti-Mormon web site.
You mean we’re anti-Catholic, too???
Man, I’m having trouble keepin’ up! LOL
Unfortunately, my people aren’t represented on the map…

I too was wondering what this map is based on and how these stats were formulated. I live in north central Ohio and it seems there are more Baptist churches than any other. Is that correct on the Roman Catholics? Since when did this country become so heavily Catholic? This was a real issue when J. Kennedy was runnning for election. They didn’t think that being Catholic would allow him to win. It would appear if there were that many of them , this would not have been that great an issue.

Perhaps visiting Strange Maps may help answer your queries. This charting was don in 2000.

I live in Northern California - My county is the buckle of the small California Bible Belt. There are only two Catholic churches in the city. There are at least four wards and one stake center for LDS. But over 50 Protestant congregations - each one a different denomination - must be a watered down statistic to make it look that way.
I think this map is faulty because of how they catergorize the churches. As far as Reformed, only three churches that qualify.

I don’t know about the validity of this map. I would think there would have been a much higher number of Mormons across Wyoming, Montana, Nevada, and northeastern California. The one “red” county in Nevada is south of Carson City, where there is a large Reformed Baptist congregation. The county shaded in red is pretty much in no-man’s land. The “red” county in Oregon is the location of a couple of good-sized Reformed Baptist congregations.
There are Protestant churches everywhere in California’s Sacramento Valley and many of the Roman Catholic churches are fairly small. I don’t see California being that heavily Roman Catholic, unless they are including illegal immigrants.

They mark the counties according to what 51% of the people marked on there 2000 sensus. My observation is that my home county is the only red county in Nebraska, Arthur County. The only church in Arthur County is the American Baptist Church. One county to the east is MacPherson County, all the Churches are Methodist. A United Methodist and a Free Methodist. The county south of Arthur County is Keith County which has several large Luthern Churches, but also has several other Protestant Churches (Menonites, Evangelical Free, Indepentant Baptist, UCC), and of course the Catholics.

The Catholic faith contains the fullness of the Truth. Do not be afraid.
