Most Protestant city in the U.S. - Nashville, Tennessee - 67%

Most Catholic city in the U.S. - Lafayette, Louisiana - 50%

They're definitely not Protestant. They'll tell you that themselves.

They're Restorationist.

Mormons are not Protestant, they aren't even Christian. Mormonism is a polytheistic cult.

Makes sense. There’s a Baptist or Church of Christ on every block.

Nashville


Isn’t the Southern Baptist Convention headquartered there?

For Catholicism, Lafayette isn’t surprising, but I thought it would be somewhere like El Paso, San Antonio, Santa Fe, Boston, Chicago, Buffalo, Baltimore

Yeah. I could see Lafayette being up there, but I would think some of the border cities like El Paso or Brownsville would beat it out.

We (Louisville, KY) sit at about 20% Catholic.

About half of folks here who identify as religious are Evangelical, mostly Baptist (about 30%).
