Thanks to ysmarko for this map of “Religious Adherents” in the United States. Now, again, realize this isn’t a “believes in Jesus” map or “claims to be a Christian” map, rather it is simply “Religious Adherents.”
I added a quickly edited Michigan version, as well. This is a helpful map as we dream as a church about where we want to plant churches.

Growing up in the Lansing area, I wanted nothing more than to get out. My exit strategy included a complex mixture of schemes for an urban church plant, iProducts, and an elaborate Bollywood car chase scene with zombies and catchy techno music.
As a 40 year old man, I find myself entrenched in the Lansing area at a church I love (Riverview), with 4 kids I love more (a high schooler, a junior higher, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and a wife I love the most (Grace).
Instead of planting one church, I dream of helping hundreds get started without ever leaving my home base. I still love my iProducts and use them as tools to help lead and teach the thousands who attend Riverview. And when no one is looking, I blare the techno music and send my unimpressive resume to casting agents for Bollywood zombie films.
