If you want to show your students the religious make-up of \u00a0America, \u00a0you should check out these awesome \u00a0maps from from the Washington Post.<\/a><\/p>\n

The map above shows the largest non-Christian groups in different regions. You\u2019ll see that Islam is the largest, especially in the midwest and the south.<\/p>\n

Other maps will show you which counties have the largest number of adherents, which have the most religious participation, \u00a0and which have the most religious diversity. \u00a0Another map shows the total number of congregations as a share of the population.
