      Is Ontario so low because of secularization or what? It’s funny to think that a century ago Toronto was the most militantly Protestant place in North America

      The way Utah came out suggests there may be some interesting definitions at play here.  Like is protestant any one who claims to be Christian but isn’t Catholic or Orthodox, or is it some specified subset of that?  In other words are they drawing a line between different types of protestant or are they saying LDS don’t count as Christians?

      I’d be curious to know what definition of “Protestant” is being used here. Do denominations like Anabaptists (Mennonites, Brethren, Amish, Hutterites, etc) who don’t consider themselves to be Protestant count? How about Mormons, Jehovah’s Witness, and Seventh Day Adventists, who many Christians consider to be non-Christian? Do they count towards this tally? (Presumably not Mormon, looking at Utah, but where exactly is the line)?

      My observations: the Southwest has a significantly higher Roman Catholic population, mostly due to Hispanic influence. Utah has an LDS plurality, and the largest minority religion are Roman Catholics. New Mexico, my home state, is predominately Catholic, but the eastern counties are more Protestant. The Deep South is a Protestant stronghold, especially in more rural areas. Louisiana is an anomaly in that the northern half of the state (the I-20 corridor) is solidly Baptist whereas the southern half (I-10 corridor) is solidly Catholic. The Northeast US is mostly Catholic, having been settled by Italian and Irish immigrants.

      Fascinating how Mainline Protestantism has just disappeared from the American consciousness. It used to be the center of American religion in the Mid-Atlantic and now’s just gone.

      Why do some states like NY have a bolder outline on the map? Does that indicate something?

      Please keep this map in mind next time this sub has a “white ethnicity” map, and a bunch of top comments say “actually it should be English in every state”, “why do Americans always pretend they’re not English”, etc etc.  A state that is 20-25% Protestant is not going to be mostly descended from Brits

      I’m from one of those „5% and less“ states in Mexico. People will look at you weirder for saying you are a Protestant than for saying you are an Atheist.
