The author took his information from churches who report. many non-denomonations do not report to anyone.
Evangelical Protestants are by and large Biblical literalists. Mainline Protestants tend toward hierarchical and liturgical, and therefore they’re adrift in the zeitgeist.
Mainline protestant denominations are also sometimes referred to as the “Seven Sisters”. As you might guess, there are seven of them:
United Methodist Church
Presbyterian Church USA
Evangelical Lutheran Church (ELCA)
Episcopal Church (PECUSA, ECUSA, or TEC, depending on which way the wind is blowing)
American Baptist Church
United Church of Christ
Disciples of Christ
More broadly, the term ‘Mainline’ might also be used to refer to Protestant Churches which are members of the National Council of Churches and the World Council of Churches.
Generally speaking, these churches should be avoided by Christians.
Amen to that!
For those interested here’s the link to the guys thread on reddit who created the map.........scroll about 1/4 way to reach this map...

Interesting. Would like to see one with %ages of population of religions, not just the majority religion. It would be interesting to see the increases in Islam and to see my Jewish brethren in there. I honestly didn’t know there were such pluralities of Catholics here.
Hispanic does not mean illegal. There are plenty of Americans who are Hispanic.
they report to God. Less corruption like the vatican and Southern Baptist Convention. BTW who was the black pastor/reverent that was busted for fraud, and no I’m not thinking Jessie Jackson or Rev. Al Sharpton.
I was also somewhat disappointed the Jewish population wasn’t included but do they report their congregations?.. Frankly I’d just as soon people not know where their highest numbers are now there’s so many coming here from Islamic countries.
I just found it. Henry Lyons from National Baptist Center. Scary he is back preaching again.
“The map represents combined data, since the US Census stopped asking about religion in the 1950s.”

Well that’s of course why they don’t turn in numbers or locations. As for the black Pastor.I don’t know..
Very interesting map.
I guess there weren’t enough African American Catholics to include them. But there are a lot!
So a majority religion could be still be shown even though anything from 99% to 1% could be a majority depending on what other % religions constitute?

The same with Korean and Vietnamese groups — largely Catholic.
Evangelical Protestants - conservative Christians that still follow the major Biblical tenets, that adultery, homosexuality, and worship of the State is wrong
Mostly Baptist, Church of Christ, conservative denominations
Mainline Protestants - Methodists, Episcopalians, some Lutherans who’ve decided social justice is God’s will, approve of same sex marriage, debate whether transgenders should have ceremonies in church, don’t you ever lecture anyone on sexual behavior ever, just come and sing lovely songs
