    I think you’re missing at least two representations here unless I’m dumb. What’s the light blue and light red? Like catholic and Protestant lite?

  2. As far as I know, theologically Mormonism is a different religion based on Christian Mythology and not Christian itself, since it rejects the basic tenets of Christendom.

    It has a fascinating history and it’s kinda cool that they set up an entire region for themselves.

  3. Can someone enlighten me about Mormonism and how it’s different from other sects pls?

  4. Blanketing the south as ‘Protestant’ is some straight old world thinking.

    this also lines up well with historic migration partterns and ethnic groups

  6. Mormonism is not Christianity. no other Christian group affirms they are, you can’t be part of a group when nobody recognizes you there

    It seems weird to me that baptists are counted as “Protestant”. I’ve always seen it as a VERY different thing.

    As a non christian, i believe anyone that worships Jesus Christ is a Christian. So I don’t get the debate about mormonism. Just sounds like internal squabbles to me. Every religion has a lot of different texts and interpretations so Mormonism isn’t any different.

  9. This map and the counter examples showing Catholicism as the largest denomination in most states have very poor explanations for how they came to their results.

    In this case, all protestants are lumped together, which makes little sense in the grand scheme but is useful to see how protestant a certain area is.

    Most modern scholars break American protestantism into mainline and evangelical camps since the big dividing line has been whether the bible is allegorical or literal. Breaking it down by denominations shows specific pockets of Baptists and Lutherans while ignoring denominations like the Methodists that have very large numbers throughout the country.

    It isn’t an easy thing to display, especially since there are agendas on every side.

    Did you all 3 of those denominations are illegal in Russia?

    Mormons aren’t Christian by any stretch of the imagination.

    That’s interesting that Catholicism is more common in California and in a large part of New England. Are those areas traditionally more democratic leaning? If so is that just correlation?
