Is the "More Anglican" completely absent (wouldn't be surprised), or is that light lavender color intentionally hard to spot compared to the LDS color?

What's with the random concentrations of Presbyterianism?

They might be combining Presbyterians with other traditionally ethically Reformed groups like the Dutch Reformed. NW Iowa and central Iowa are quite Dutch, and they're keyed Presby on here.

Mark-
The map comes from a conference at Harvard earlier this month – "New Technologies and Interdisciplinary Research on Religion". there's similar map of Europe here:

is there a link to this? really interesting. i'm curious to know where the atheists are. (i'm assuming the absence of dots in some regions means absence of people, not atheism). also wondering what one 'dot' represents (a percentage, a specific number of people?). the ethnic/religion thing.

“What's with the random concentrations of Presbyterianism?”
If I'm reading the map correctly, I see the concentrations of Presbyterians in Pittsburgh, Charlotte, Philadelphia, and Little Rock. I'm a Charlotte Presbyterian. I guess we cluster? The Presbyterian side of my family has strong roots in Davidson, North Carolina, because of the college.
