[lbo-talk] religious geography of the US

[Andy F]

>From Alternet -- the unusually thoughtful comments (for what you
normally see in in a public forum) explain what's wrong with the
headline headline and post.  The breakdown of different sects and
religions hold few surprises -- Baptists more or less exactly define
the South, lots of Mormons in Utah, Jews and Muslims in urban areas. 
Some interesting bits -- DC is among the biggest Muslim hotspots along
with Detroit, Toledo and maybe Brooklyn (hard to tell), and there's a
county in Idaho of all places with a relative concentration of Jews
(maybe it got just over the threshold).  Also a band of Catholics in
the upper Midwest (along with Lutherans, of course) -- but not
necessarily in Chicago, which surprises me. More are in Dubuque and
Green Bay.
