Also, has anyone ever come across a good Catholic vs. Mainline vs. Evangelical county map? Initially, I thought I could just make one using this map and a "Largest Christian denomination" map, but since Catholicism is so centralized and big, it proved harder than I thought...

Strikingly, even the way mainline denominations appear on this map, a buffer zone between Catholics and evangelicals, suggests that their geographic foothold will only continue to be eroded by the two larger branches as time goes on. It’s kinda sad.
