combines 2016 Census data on ethnicity with 2010 data on religion from the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies.
It does not include atheism or no religion, and only shows pluralities, meaning the group shown may not be an absolute majority in the county. The county-level data shows intriguing patterns across the US.

I didn’t realize New England was so Catholic. Looking at all the Catholic areas of the west coast and Great Lakes region, it is apparent that most Catholics are very liberal.
I am surprised to see so many Protestant Hispanics throughout Texas.
Far less surprising is the South being completely Evangelical Protestant, the most conservative region of the country.
Wow... really interesting! Thanks for posting, caww.
That was an interesting read.....but have to stop for the night....too much pressure on the carpal tunnel! Had this almost 6 weeks now!
Thank you for that list.
Too many. Way too many...
Most of the Jewish people in the southern part of the Midwest and southern rural areas are Reform or independent for now and politically conservative, and most of the Christians, Evangelical and politically conservative.
I’ll put on a hat and step outside for a minute for fresh air and a prayer. Try to make it a point to do some physical exercise that doesn’t include stressing the painful tendons. Good night. :-)
Evangelical was a term devised by the media to mark anyone who was a conservative Protestant. I think it started in the 50s.
No many. Very few in fact.
Not ALWAYS, see the LCMS and PCA and WELS that are considered ‘mainline’ for some reason.
The LCMS was founded in 1847, WELS in 1850. They are ‘mainline’ in the sense that they are the stubborn old original synods that stood against the popular WCC and NCC nonsense; when the libs couldn’t have their way, the libs stormed out to form their own wishy washy churches, often larger than the old originals.
That is fascinating. Thanks. For some reason the site thinks I am a man and all the ads were offering me dates with the hottest chicks. But I definitely knew I lived in a Jewish concentrated county, that was a given.
Yikes. I had forgotten about that.

You're right - and it's due to the fact that the map-makers have chosen to count Catholic Hispanics and Protestant Hispanics separately. If instead all Hispanics were grouped together in a single category "Hispanics," they would be shown to be the majority in a great many more localities, and their domination in border states would be much more dramatically illustrated.
After all, is the difference between Catholic Hispanics and Protestant Hispanics really that important - I mean, in terms of the political and cultural future of this country?
Regards,
Maybe because they are nowhere in the majority, because not a single locality would be coded as "Majority Jewish?"
Regards,
I found the map intriguing!
