New England is heavily Catholic, the South is predominantly evangelical, the West Coast has the highest proportion of religiously unaffiliated folks. If you’re a Midwesterner, you’re living in the region that best reflects the religious diversity of the United States.

The U.S. Religious Landscape Survey, released February 25, estimates the religious makeup of the country’s 225 million adults, categorizing them in groups as large as evangelical Protestants (26.3 percent) and as small as Unitarians (0.3 percent).

A massive new study of the American religious landscape shows that Protestants are losing their majority share of the nation’s population and that the country’s broad religious diversity is accompanied by great shifts in religious affiliation.
