      How have you defined Mainline Protestant and Evangelical? Is everything but Lutheran “Evangelical” to you despite Lutherans themselves using this term?

      Where did you get the information that the Orthodox Church is the majority in that part of Chiapas? Why is the presence of Orthodoxy in general so limited in Mexico,It only exists in the capital and the State of Mexico; it is mostly quite rare.

      That one dot in Mexico with Mennonite is interesting. I’m curious the background there.

      Totally missing a spot in West Texas. Gaines County has to be majority Mennonites. If you have heard of this place, it is probably because of the huge measles outbreak, where they still are against the vaccine.

      Note that Costa Rica is about a quarter Evangelical (exact numbers vary from survey to survey, from 19% to 31%)

      Copy + pasting my comment from the last time the second, more recent map was posted here (regarding the one speck of Mainline Protestant in New Mexico):

      > Actually maybe as interesting as is possible for something like this to be. That’s Los Alamos county — as in the Los Alamos of the Manhattan Project. Really small population and one of the highest levels of education per capita in the country. No official numbers on it, but a lot of the ~8500 people involved in the Project just stayed afterward. And so you have this place where huge numbers of highly educated people were imported in the 1940s — which, remember, Mainline churches were pretty heavily correlated with education level — and then there hasn’t been tons of immigration since then.

      So depressing seeing the Catholic Church dwindle in Central America 🙁

      Does anyone remember the riveting Vice video on YouTube, „Mormons vs the Cartel“?

      How did northeast Nevada go from Evangelical to Mormon?

      Also shoutout to Comitan de Dominguez for being the only majority Eastern Orthodox community in the region

      Odd. I’ve been to Quintana Roo quite a bit, and there is a TON of indigenous religious practice there if you get off the beaten track.

      Evangelical Protestantism is not a good thing for Latin America. Look at how much it screwed up the USA.

      i had no idea about the mennonites in belize either, learned something new today

      it’s interesting how perception can skew reported stats like this

      Dallas, Ft. Worth, and Arlington are majority Evangelical in both. Source?

      Had to double-check where Chihuahua was and sure enough, smack dab in fuckin‘ Mormon Country. They must have some kind of psycho cult foothold there for missionary operations.

      Conservatives should be very happy about the mass migration from Mexico 1990-2008. It guaranteed America would be a white Christian nation through at least this century.
