Where is the Irish Bible Belt or do we have an Irish bible belly instead?

in the USA there is the bible belt - Bible Belt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia -#
Given Peter Matthews rosary rattling and the clamour to save the Vatican embassy do we have a similar geographic area here? I would suspect south dublin would not classify itself as the Alabama of Ireland but then agian, who knows. My personla opinion is that there is a radical hotbed of conservatism running from north cork to limerick to Roscommon and across to Wicklow and all points in between, a kind of an bible beer belly...

Your thread is a bigoted call to hatred.

Trolling of the very worst.

I'd imagine the west and north are more religious - As far as I recall Inishowen has the highest rate of religious observance in the Republic. It isn't analogous to the US Bible Belt at all, though.

the map is quite interesting, Mississippi being the worst affected. I'm surprised that Wyoming is mostly atheist

Ballymena is the closest to a Bible-Belt in either jurisdiction.

If there was one, I'd say it stretches from Mayo, home of The Burke family to Antrim,home of Paisley, via Sligo Donegal, Leitrim, Fermanagh, Tyrone etc.

its a demographic if anything not a location. over 60's or over 70's

That map is nonsense. The key makes no sense, while the idea that Idaho, which I know very well, has 'no religion' is laughable in the extreme.
