I guess the Episcopalians, long the American establishment, are dwindling and shown here on the side as Anglican. I think the Times article on shifting religious affiliations said that 1 in 10 Americans is an ex-Catholic. In Oregon, I'd sure like to have a big enough version to read the numbers in those "other" counties. That red county in the center of the state (Jeffeerson)includes the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, I wonder if that's related to the Baptist tilt? There are other maps showing Jews and Muslims on this website. I expect Buddhists, Hindu, etc were too small to map. <a href="http://www.glenmary.org/GRC/RCMS_2000/maps.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.glenmary.org/GRC/RCMS_2000/maps.htm</a> Annother chance to plug one of my favorite books, A New Religious America and the affiliated Pluralism Project at Harvard -- <a href="http://www.pluralism.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pluralism.org/</a> You can certainly see the Bible Belt, the Mormons spreading out of Utah, Garrison Keeler’s Lutherans in Minnesota, and the preponderance of Roman Catholics across the rest of the country.
