    1.) The map on this webpage displays the distribution of certain religions within the US. For example, it shows that Protestantism and Catholicism are the two most dominant religions within the US. 2.) I chose this part of the survey because it provided me with a visual aid of the distribution of religions within the US. Also, it shows the distribution of specific religions within certain states. 3.) Create a visual representation of the distribution of a religion of your choice within the US, and provide some insight learned from this unit (and others) in order to explain the cause of the religion's distribution.

    Liam, I agree that the map has power in the way it displays the distribution of different faiths. The visual representation is helpful in understanding a religion's distribution.

    The amount of foreign born babies is relatively low with most counties having less than 1% of the babies being foreign born. This is most likely due to the hurricane which caused the area to not be an attract location for migrants.

    The graph shows that each decade, there are more children born from immigrants than the prior decade. This must be a result from the increasing amount of immigrants coming to the United States.
