I know the general idea of what makes it the bible belt, and I thought Georgia was in it... cuz it sure felt like it, but I was told that Georgia wasn't a part of it. So, where, geographically does this belt lie (lay?) on a map, and which states are in it? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

I would say that Georgia was part of it, usually south of the Mason-Dixon line, and the South West.

eastern kentucky and most of west virginia is in it big time. when i first traveled thru that area I could not figure out what all those roadside tents were for, then later some one explained they were for revivals

From where I'm sitting, I'd say that Georgia is the beltbuckle!

From what I've experienced, the buckle is around Nashville, TN!

Daria, the Bible Belt consists loosely of Kentucky, W Virginia, Virginia, N and S Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Sounds more like a bible blob than a bible belt to me... heh

..and Nebraska and Iowa

Heck, with such sizable belt and the blobs, looks like my chances of becoming the President as an atheist is not very bright.

I'd vote for ya... campaign for ya even; if I was allowed to. I'm not sure if I am allowed to work on political campaigns or not (military)--maybe just not while in uniform.
