美國是否是一個基督教國家這無可置疑，名義上的基督徒繼續支配統計數據，真正的聖經信仰卻是愈來愈不受歡迎
但假如不考慮美國是基督教國家那將會是什麼?
由美國宗教組織統計學家聯盟藉著美國人口普查統計結果，描劃出在美國各州居第二大宗教人口令人驚訝的地圖
伊斯蘭教在20個州是第二個最普及的宗教，許多是在南方聖經帶，猶太教在東北部，佛教在西部有13個州，印度教在亞利桑那州和特拉華州二州，值得注意的是，本次調查認為摩門教是基督教的一種形式

There's no shortage of disagreement over whether or not the U.S. is a "Christian nation." And while nominal Christians continue to dominate statistical tallies, true biblical faith is increasingly unpopular.But if America isn't a "Christian nation," what is it?
The Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies, a group which assists in the U.S. Census, recently released an interesting map showing which religions rank No. 2 throughout the country.

Islam ranks as the second most prevalent religion in 20 states, many of which in the Bible belt. Judaism is the second most common faith in most of the Northeast, while towards the West, 13 states are noted for their sizeable Buddhist minorities. Hinduism is only the No. 2 religion in two states, Arizona and Delaware.
Notably, the survey considers Mormonism a form of Christianity, failing to account for the religion's sizable majority in Utah over Christian sects including Catholicism, Protestantism, and the like. |
