Topography of faith: we’re not as entrenched as we think
USA Today has an article out about religious pluralism in America and the changing face of faith:
“A new map of faith in the USA shows a nation constantly shifting amid religious choices, unaware or unconcerned with doctrinal distinctions. Unbelief is on the rise. And immigration is introducing new faces in the pews, new cultural concerns, new forces in the public square.”
You can read the entire article here and see the interactive graph here. Very interesting. Below are the results from my own state, which has, according to this graph, not only the most “Evangelical Protestants” of any state (53%, a tie along with Arkansas), but also the highest concentration of any religious group, save Utah (58% Mormon). I’m not necessarily surprised at that number, but I was a little surprised that it was the largest number nationwide with the highest concentration.
