How come they don't ask about it anymore? Sad It would be fascinating to see how these patterns have changed over time.

Anyway, great map!

I perfectly understand the idea that it's inappropriate for the State to be asking people about their religion: in France it would be absolutely unacceptable. But the thing is that the French census also doesn't ask any question about ethnicity (and in fact it's illegal even for private surveys to do so). It's considered inherently racist to do so.

I'm not interested in debating who is right (fwiw, I still feel somewhat closer to the French view, though I understand that there are valid reasons why the US does it), but I just find the contrast with religion interesting.
