From the Washington Post comes this interesting map (HT Mark McKenna) of the dominant religious denominations in different regions.  Catholics are blue, Baptists are red and Lutherans are in yellow/orange.  The similarities to red state/blue state maps is striking.  The other maps (which cover things like religious diversity, nonChristian religions, and religious participation) are equally interesting.  Go take a look.
