But what about the rest of us? In the Western U.S., Buddhists represent the largest non-Christian religious bloc in most states. In 20 states, mostly in the Midwest and South, Islam is the largest non-Christian faith tradition. And in 15 states, mostly in the Northeast, Judaism has the most followers after Christianity. Hindus come in second place in Arizona and Delaware, and there are more practitioners of the Baha’i faith in South Carolina than anyone else.
All these data come from the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies, which conducts a U.S. Religion Census every 10 years. Here’s what their map of the second-most-practiced religions looks like:

Anyone attached to "Islam the largest non-Christian faith tradition" should be introduced to an ounce of the good ole American thing called left. They are murdering terrorist and considered to be a threat to our country. Any soft hearted liberals that cry about this need to meet the same fait.
We are a peaceful religion, All praise Allah
more people have been killed for religious purposes and in the name of God than for any other reason! God must be weeping at the way we treat each other.
I would be curious to see what the percentage of the population was represented in these maps. I'd wager it would be extremely low, not even reaching double digit percentages.
