Want to hazard a guess on the the size of Wisconsin’s evangelical Christian population, and how it compares with surrounding states? In light of the impact of religious voters on the recent election, the information is quite interesting. USA Today has put together an interactive map, based on information compiled by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.
The map pegs 24 percent of Wisconsinites as Evangelical Protestants, compared with just 21 percent in Minnesota and 19 percent in Illinois. Iowa is also at 24 percent, Michigan is 26 percent, and Indiana is 34 percent.
In Wisconsin Evangelical Protestants slightly outnumber Mainline Protestants, but still lag behind Catholics (29 percent). Take a look around the country, the break-downs are fascinating. The informaton was compiled in 2007.
