Religious Denomination Maps

[Padfoot]

Sorry to the non-religious people, you all won't get counted here. Especially due to the flaws in religious censuses.

You do realize that non-religious people are the plurality in four states don't you?  In Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and Wyoming the largest religious denomination is no religion.

Here's a map generated by Wikipedia using data from the American Religious Identification Survey:

I compiled the results for Ohio and found this:

Catholic counties were: Allen, Ashtabula, Clermont, Cuyahoga, Defiance, Delaware, Erie, Franklin, Geauga, Hamilton, Huron, Jefferson, Lake, Lorain, Lucas, Mahoning, Medina, Mercer, Montgomery, Noble, Portage, Putnam, Seneca, Shelby, Stark, Summit, Trumbull

Evangelical counties were: Adams, Athens, Brown, Butler, Fulton, Gallia, Greene, Highland, Holmes, Jackson, Knox, Lawrence, Meigs, Monroe, Pike, Preble, Scioto, Warren, Wayne

The remaining counties were Mainline.

By President 2004:

Catholic: Bush 14 Kerry 13
Mainline: Bush 41 Kerry 1
Evangelical: Bush 17 Kerry 2

Quite a big gap between Catholic counties and Protestant counties in Ohio...


Does anyone know how to make a map of this?

Just modify one of the Ohio election results maps using a paint program or something.
