It's not the Bible Belt though because while conservative and religious, there are few Southern Baptists.

FYI, The Bible Belt doesn't refer to just Southern Baptists. You could make an argument that all the 2004 Bush states are part of the Bible belt, given that moral values were the main issue.

Traditionally, the Bible belt states are the confederate states adding Kentucky and Oklahoma (little Dixie that is), subtracting parts of Florida (Orlando and south of it)

You do know what a "belt" refers to when referring to a geographic area, right?

Correct. Not every religious conservative area. If it is then it's a majority of the country area-wide.

I misused "belt" in my first quotation. I was referring to the media's delegation of the Bush 2004 states as "Jesusland"
