As implied by the title, this map highlights the "leading" church bodies across the US. It was taken from American Ethnic Geography's "Map Gallery of Religion in the United States", which shows the population percentages of the religions people identify with and you can click here for all options. Some elements of the map were not surprising to me, like the concentration of Mormons in the Utah area or Baptists in the south, but I didn't realize how large the Catholic population was in America. Nearly all of the US is dominated by a leading religious body that identifies with Christianity, which is logical with our history, but it is still intriguing to see the variation across the board.
